county. Mo. was on the mark, t
yesterday with 81 head of extra
good steers which he sold at good
prices. While talking matters
over with a representative OF tn"
Reporter. Mr.. Brown stated the fol
lowing crop conditions as eXlStin:
in his part Of the county: " Tn"
wheat crop is threShing out very
light. Take the average field AMI
it is not yielding over ten bushels
to the acre and in many instances
great deal less. The Oat crop Is
not panning ont nearly so well as
Expected. Oats in my vicinity are
turning out about % bushels t.
the acre. The hay crop was about
on the average with that of last
year. The corn on the prair''
land this year is very late and un
even and | am afraid that the frs
frost will catch some of it. Corn
on the uplands and hilly land
looks better and stands a yer,
good show to make a crop. Their
is enough old corn left in tn
county to answer all purposes I'll
the new crop is gathered. | hay
