A FINE OUTLOOk X
Indications that Wheat Crop Through
out County viii be Goods0ne

Reports to the contrary, from
the present outlook and indica-
tions, wheat in Ramsey county
will yield about twelve bushels
to the acre. In other sections of
the state this yield will vary,
some localities not giving more
than eight, but ten bushels per
acre is about the average yield Of
the prospective crop throughout
the state. Of course there are a
few fields scattered throughout
county which will yield twenty
bushels, but a bumper crop in
any, locality this year is out of
the question.
The recent terrific hail storms
too have done incalculable dam
age to some crops, the yield from
great many farms on this ac-
count amounting to practically
nothing, but take it all in all, the
farmer will reap a good harvest.
During the past three weeks
the fields have made wonderful
progress in development. What,
before that time, was considered
practically worthless outlook,
| has developed to such an extent,
that now a fair yield is expected.
: The heads are fast filling and the
berry is becoming round and
full.
| On account of the very late
spring which was experienced
this year, a pessimistic feeling
has prevailed that the crop of
1907, would fall far short of pre-,
vious ones. Now that feeling
has changed to an optimistic
one, and the indications point to
the present years crop as being
above the average. =. =
The fields throughout the
county, and, we may say, the
state, which present a prosper
GUS and flourishing condition,
having on each side of them fields
which are rough; stunted, weedy
and scraggly in appearance,
demonstrate the fact that their
superior appearance and yield is
due to more careful cultivation
and to no difference in the soil.
The farmer who was willing to
put in q little more time and at
tention to the sowing of his crop
!will reap the benefits this har.
! vest by having a much larger
yield, and will secure a much
!, better price, for his product.
