DRY LAND WHEAT !.
YIELDS 46 BUSHELS
Possibilities Of Dry Farming
Again Demonstrated.
Carey Farmer Who Had Faith Harvests
Fine Crop Irrigated Fields Near
Said to Have Even Lar
ger Yields.

A Carey farmer, whose land is near
the big fill, between Aberdeen and
Springfield, has just finished threshing
MS wheat, and reports a yield, machine
measure, Of forty-six bushels per acre.
As wheat in this section usually over
runs, from two to four pounds per bu-
shel, the actual yield viii approximate
forty-eight bushels. This field was not
irrigated, water coming after the crop
was matured. The news Of the Weld
was brought to town by Mr. and Mrs. j.
G. Hurt, Of Aberdeen, who were here
Thursday. They did not remember the
name OF the grower, but obtained their
information from people present at the
thresbing.
Irrigated fields nearby, It is said.
promise a much heavier yield. One
field in particular was mentioned where
the shocks were 50 thick that it seemed
impossible for the ground 70 have pro
duced so much.
While this yield is much above the
average it is not exceptional. When
reports are received from the dry farms
between here and RocklaIid this Weld

difficult to grow such crops, however. as
TO make people believe that We grow
