SIZE OF CROP SURPRISING.
Farmers Get One Half More Wheat
Than They Expected.

prisingly large ard unexpected yields
of grain are being secured from wheat
fields in counties west of here. Most
farmers arc getting from a third to
one-half more grain than the estimate
at harvest time. Especially is this true
in the counties of Sherman and Sheri-
dan.
From a half-section of land near
Eexford. owned by Ben Foster, har-
vest of $500 bushels has just been
thrashed. One of the quarter sections
yielded an even forty-five bushels per
acre. The crop this year at the pres
ont price is worth five times as much
as Foster paid for the land three years
ago, after it had been deserted by
farmers who had weathered six sue
cessive crop failures.
