WHEAT YIELD GOOD
Promising Prospects Throughout
Ramsey County This Year


The outlook for good wheat
crop throughout Ramsey coun-
ty continues to improve from
day to day. With the present
weather conditions prevailing
until after harvest, the farmers
throughout the county can safe
ly look forward to a winter
spent with the luxuries to a
farmers life, for they are sure
to get a good price for their pro-
duce, and will therefore have
money to spend.
Webster was communicated
with by the Inter- Ocean yester-
day and it was learned from the
Farmers elevate: at that place
that wheat will average fourteen
bushels to the acre whereabouts.
The barley is expected to yield
an average crop, and flax is re-
ported to be looking good. More
than four inches Of rain has fall
en- during the summer in fact,
the rainfall is regarded to have
been just right. Some barley is
being harvested now, and the
wheat will be ready for the
binder in about ten days.
At Starkweather the condi-
lions are not so good, ten BUSH
els of wheat being expected to be
the average crop. Twenty BUSH
els of flax, forty of oats, ard
twenty-five Of barley are expect
ed. The last named will prove
to be a better crop than that Of
last year. Lack of rain is at
tributed as the cause of the small
crop of wheat, as it is. reported
that not more than three inches
have fallen since June 10Th.
Barley is now being cut and
work will be begun on the wheat
about week from next Mon
day. :s..=,
The vicinity Of Garske felt the
full effect of the awful hail
storm Of a couple of weeks ago.
What grain escaped its ravages,
however, is Of the best. On JOS
|eph Kelly's farm, 800 out, of
1900 acres Of grain were badly
damaged. It is expected that the
remainder, however, will yield
about fifteen bushels: to. the acre.
The flax in that vicinity is not
very good this year, on account
|of. the flax wilt, which is quite
general througho nut that section.
Barley will yield q good crop,
forty bushels being named as the
average. 5.s55l5 D ::3:ss
