GRAIN BINS TO BULGE.
After Farmers Get Fat Crops Stored
They May Listen to Candidates.


They May Listen to Candidates.
From now on for few weeks the
farmer Of Clay county will be a busy
man, and the politicians who are bob
bing up for the various county and
state officers had better steer clear of
hfm.
Clay county Is about ready to har-
vest one OF the biggest crops in her
history. Winter wheat Is being cut;
some of 1t already has been threshed.
The average will be from twenty to
twenty-five bushels an acre, and the
quality is of the best. The farmer
with spring wheat will have to be con-
tent with less. but he has learned
lesson, and next fall will be thinking
about seed winter wheat Oats are
exceptionally fine, some farmers claim
ing that their average per acre will
reach sixty and sixty-five bushels.
There has been no black rust, and
only here and there has red rust got
into the fields. The season for small
grain has been ideal, and the farmers
are naturally jubilant.
Corn Is little backward this year
owing to unusually cool weather dur
ing June and the fore part Of July.
But with hot weather from this time
IN there is little doubt but that 1t will
Imature in good shape and finish far
ahead of frost.
The fruit crop in Clay county this
year is the largest ever known. Straw
berries, raspberries and currants were
an. exceptionally large yield, and the
growers have made good money. The
demand was strong enough at all
times good price. Apples are being
marketed three weeks earlier this
year at fine figure. Plums are grow
Aing nicely. The trees are loaded,
and in many instances growers have
had to prop up the limbs to keep them
from breaking off under their heavy
toad.
