AndreW nelson, up On the DlVlQe,
finished the threshing Of his wheat
last week and when the smoke Of
battle declared away he found him
self sitting high and dry with an aver
age yield of thirty-one and a half bu-
shells Of No. 1 wheat to the acre-and
it commanded the top price. Andrew
also threshed his oats crop, but at last
reports be has been unable to- dig him
self out of the heap piled up SO ne
could figure, up the average yield;
PEMBINA ema
Threshing weather has,rbeel ideal
for the greater part Of the last ten
days. There is a good average crop
in the Neche district and some very
large yields have been reported from
small acreages. Earl symington
threshed 5D4 bushels. from a piece Of
ground approximately six acres in
size. This is the largest yield of any
kind of grain yet reported in this vi
entity, but it is expected that in some
places the oats will turn out close to
100 bushels to the acre. Fred Vosper
-threshed 944S bushels from 210 acres.
Eugene Beaudry,s. crop averaged ap-
proximately fifty bushels of wheat to
the acre. On the G. N. demonstration
lot on the Fred Kain farm the yield
was ffty-two bushels to the acre.

j The report reaches the News that
!threshing commenced in the Fayette
country last week and the oats are
running rs to 80, bushels per acre.
The whests averaging So bushels per
acre.
WALSH,
The threshing season is on in dead
earnest in the tri-county section, and
nearly every machine is at work grind
ing out the golden grain. The Ford
willie Chronicle has SO far been, unable,
to get any definite reports as to .,ts,,p
yield, but some Of the wheat deliver
les at the local elevators are weighing
from sixty-twos 10 sixty-four pounds to:
The .bushel and is grading UP, in great
shape, The Fordyille Chronicle has
heard that one or, two pieces thresh-
ed yielded better than thirty bushels
to, the acre. while some other fields
are running a little better than twenty
bushels, and those who know claim
that the general average will be above
twenty-five for the several townships
of this section.
WALSH F.,
;Henning Gunhus of Edinburgh re-;
ports that he threshed a total of 33OJ
bushels of oats from a thirty acre
field, last week. This makes a yield
of 10 bushels Of oats to the acre, a
very extraordinary yield. A crop like
that would be considered. marvellous
even in Iowa or Illinois. and being
from a field Of thirty acres proves that
proper cultivation will raise as much
grain here as the 5000 per acre land
in the eastern states.

Kpute Knutson, who lives neal FL
lingsOn. seventeen miles southwest of.
Hettipger, reports a yield of thirty
eight bushels of blue stem wheat to
the, acre. This is the first of this sea-
sons grain yields to be reported and
it is something of a surprise even to
those who were most optimistic as to
the crop, The grain is of fine quality
and will undoubtedly grade No. Il
This. yield was from q small tract but
Mr.. Knutson, who was in, town We'd
nesday, says he thinks his wholet field
will make tLis average. az
MORTON COUNTY.
Thursday announcement. was, made
that lis bushels of oats to the acre
had been threshed from plots in the
west field of the experimental station
farm at Mandan. 1t was a high mark,
but Agronomist Sarvis yesterday re-
ported a record for Western North
Dakota. Four rotation plots in the
south fields of the United States farm
averaged 1923 bushels of oats to the
acre, and n plot. threshed as high
as 1877 bushels. At the market price
today the 1923 bushels average, would,
if the product were sold, yield $3O.75,
more than the LAND cost two years ago.
The big yield was from land which
had been in summer fallow last year
and which had previously borne no
crop. Cultivation was the only work
given the land, no fertilizer being
used. N "ohS -!
Barley was threshed yesterday, the
yield being GO bushels to the
acre. Others averaged 60 bushels.
These plots were grown " corn last
year, and the land was ploughed and
then disced to barley seed this spring.
The lowest plot yield was 50 bushels
which was on land where flax had
hnon grown last year "
Yesterday threshing work was start
ed on wheat. The first plot yield put
through the separator gave S7h bush
els to the acre. This vas a variety
of Kubanka Durum. This was on corn
Of last year. The second plot
planted last year to oats,
yielded "a bushels to the acre.

Monday and further reports will be
