Quite a company of Dickinson people
vent to Green river on Sunday to see
the new Avery threshing outfit of
Robert Fisher started. 1t was a great
sight and was entirely new to people of
this part of the state, where machines of
this size have not previously been in
stalled. Everything about the ma
chinery worked to perfection, but it was
impossible for the men to get the grain
up to the feed table as fast as it was
wanted. Different parties took a hand
at the stack but none of them cosld
stand it long. The grain men were al.
so given a surprise and had to give in to
the fact that they could not keep up
with a machine of the Avery's capacity.
Just as the last man was ready to give
up in despair along came an old timer
with refreshments which gave new
courage to the crew. 1t is certain that
the Fisher machine will do the work in
quick order if the grain is delivered at
the separator as fast as wanted. The
grain threshed at the Fisher place was
a mixture of wheat and oats and yielded
50 bushels to the acre.
