The acreage sown to wheat in
this vicinity is less than it was
during any one of the past twenty
five years. This fact is due to the
scarcity Of seed wheat, the dis
couragingly small yield of the last
wheat crop and, in some places,
because the corn in the fields had
been blown down so badly as to
render it very difficult to pillow in
wheat without considerable loss of
corn.
The corn crop in this section
was quite light in most fields. The
average yield within a radius of
five miles from this point, will not
exceed twenty bushels per acre.
Several car loads of beef cattle
can be bought in this neighbour
