Meade County Wheat 35 Bush
els to Acre.

Hutchinson, Sept. John D..
Wehrle. former editor of the Meade
County News, was in Hutchinson,
on his way to Wichita, where he is
to take position as travelling sales
man with the Cox-Blodgett Dry
Goods company of that city. Mr..
Wehrle came direct from Meade,
where he has been interested in crop
conditions.
Mr.. Wehrle says that the county
of Meade has made al enormous
increase in Its wheat yield this sea-
son and that the threshlng has not
all been completed. He says that
1t was confidently figured that there
will be production of 100 bushels
of wheat for each man, woman and
child in the county. AS their pop
ulation is given as $500, this means
$50, 900 bushels this year, an in
crease from $50, 200 bushels. the
last years yield. or more than
double.
Mr.. Wehr1e says that there was
an average of 20 bushels of whea,
to the acre. John ]. Friesen, a
Mennonite, had yield of sc bush
els for 16 acres. Wheat to the
amount of II, 900 bushels was con
tracted for at 81 an bushel.
An interesting feature of tn wheat
raising in Meade county, told by
Mr.. Wehrle, is the industry of the
colony of Mennonites in the county,
near the town of Meade. The colo
ny numbers about 40 families.

congregated at the station. When
