chiekasna, I. T., July 29.-The enor-
nous wheat harvest Of the west end of
the Chickasha nation and a good big
slice of Western Oklahoma is now
pouring into Chickasha The quality
of the wheat and the enormous crop
is continual surprise and wonder to
everybody Much Of the grain market
cd here weighs from SO to 64 pounds
to the burhel, while the yield has run
as high 81 forty-four bushels to the
acre
\ II. B. Johnson, cashier Of the First
National hank and wealthy Chick
asaw Indian, has several hundred acres
on his allctments surrounding Chicka-
sha. His wheat averaged sixty-three
pounds to the bushel and twenty-six
bushels to the acre. Mat Chiffon, an
Iother farmer, also had a splendid
yield. Ills wheat weighed sixty-three
pounds and made thirty bushels to the
lacre John w Brown an Indian cit
lizen whose allotment IS three miles
north of town, had one patch Of thir-
teen acres that yielded 571 bushels
and twenty pounds, or little less
than forty-four bushels to the acre
This is th, record breaker. The re
mainder of this remarkable field was
three days under water during the re
cent food, but it threshed out eighteen
bushels to the acre. and despite the ef'
feet of the water was Of very fair av-
erage. A sample Of both these yields
will be pli.ced in the territorial exhib-
lit at the Louisiana Purchase exposi-
tion.
