The hum of the threshing machine
has been heard in Brookings county
the past week, and the machine show
ing would indicate that there will be

ure, and the oats 80 bushels. The rye
was of good quality, but the oats were
light. MI. Hill also threshed for the
Slocums and their rye went 1871
bushels to the acre and their oats be-
tween 80 and 35 bushels. Oliver
Tote hauled in some barley this week
that weighed AZ pounds to the bushel
and a good yield to the acre. We have
heard of no report on wheat, but un-
derstand that some of it is very good
while other fields were hit by the rust.
