Better Than Expected.

The wheat harvest In Holt county
will come to close this week. Those
who have threshed report a yield OF
thirty bushels to the acre In favored
localities. A larger portion, however,
report twenty-five bushels to the acre.
The yield Is more In some localities
than had been expected after the
Hessian fly got into the wheat. The
damage was not SO great as anticlpat-
ed, though doubtless the fly cut the
yield In places. 1t was q case OF
