good playing the Baraga boys outclassed
their opponents as team. >4

220, ,8O6 bushels was marketed in the
southern four tiers Of counties, II, 1855
in the central counties and 1915 in the
northern counties. The estimated to-
tai number Of bushels of wheat mar
keted in the twelve months, August
July is $500, 600; add to this amount
1000, 600 bushels used by the farmers
