Much has been said during the past
month in reference to the wheat crop of
this Peninsula. and while some farmers
have contended that the crop would fall
lar hort of the usual yield. there were
Others who expected fair crop, but now
that many OF the farmers in this section
have threshed, it is quite evident that
the yield will be light one. We have
made many inquiries and find that while
some Of the more fortunate tiIlers OF the
soil are getting from Is to 20 bushels per
acre, theie,are others who are not getting
more than 10, and in some cases scarcely
that much, and it is safe to say that the
crop will not average more than Is
Bushels, which is an exceedingly light
-" f'r this section. Many crops have
a re- iy been sold at rs cents, while others
w. are stacking will hold their wheat
inr .rvcral months, as it is thought by
som that the price will be much hiaher
laIer Ia the season.
