comment has been heard upon the remark
able yield of the Bethesda farm OF Mr..
Robert D. Weaver. which, II is believed
has established a wheat record for the

was 1.6O0 bushels. and the average was
thirty-slx bushels to the acre. The farm
came into the possession of Mr.. Weaver
about two years ago. and the yield at that
time was about fifteen bushels to the acre.
Liberal fertilization during that period has
caused the average to increase, and SO far
this year Is the best report which has
been received from Montgomery county.
The yield Is considered the more remark
able as the weather has not been favorable.
