UNDERWAY NEXT WEEK
FIVE HUNDRED FIFTY MACHINES

Harvesting Is well under way or Is
being rapidly put under way and By
next week the combines will be hum

ing to f. L. Smith of this city. In
the Pilot Rock section about every
thing Is running. In other sections
of the county harvesting barley has
been going on the past few weeks but
wheat harvesting is now beginning IN
earnest.
Crews have been at work on the
John Etter and the John Runyon
places near Pilot Rock for several
days other places where harvest
ing has now begun are Arnold Plant
ing's ranch near Adams; Elmer
Moore's in the west end Of the county
and in the same section the places Of
W. II. Jones and Walter Benson.
In the Pilot Rock district half of
the threshing Is almost finished. Ac-
cording 10 Mr.. Johnson, who came
through there yesterday the farmers
are jubilant over the outlook and de-
clare the yield will be handsome this
year
The Roy Rue ranch near Nolin will
be in full blast next week. some OF
the threshing already having been
done.
On Meeker's place wheat is Yield
ing Is sacks TO the acre or about "a
bushels.
Mr.. Smith figures that the yield
over the county this year will go so
per cent under that of last season and
places blame for this on the late
frosts which he declares have harme1 j
the development of the grain. But
he looks for prices this season about
FIVE or six cents higher than last
when wheat sold at 20 cents He de-
clares that although lacking in guam.
tity, the yield will be of superior
quality.
When harvesting is in full swine

origin last Monday night destroyed tn
barn on the Alex Mcintyre place nea
