Guessing on Wheat Yield.

An incident showing how widely
apart men will be estimating the yield
of piece of land, was brought home
to Riley Rush, a farmer near Red
Oak, with striking and unpleasant
force. While thrashing a piece of
wheat for Rush, the latter remarked
that he would gladly take ten bush
els per acre for the crop. w. J. Git
tins, who overheard the offer, prompt
ly accepted it and paid Rush for the
crop on a acknowledgements basis.
A little later. H. L. Johnson ap-
,peared upon the scene, and, on learn
ing of the deal, with the knowledge he
had of the field of wheat, told Citizens
he would give him two bushels an
acre for his bargain. Gittins accept
ed, was given a check for his profit,
quickly made and without even much
of an effort The wheat was hauled
to market and when the triple deal
was closed up, Johnson, the last man
to figure in the deal, had over sixty
bushels profit.
