Garfield County's
Wheat Yield Large

In many parts of the country the
threshing machine is running early and
late and figures showing the yield are
coming in every DAY. Not enough have
been received to get very accurate
estimate OF the average for the county
Clarence Kline, who owns and oper-
ates a threshiug machine, reports that
the wheat on his home place, Just west
of the car barn, made an average OF
twenty bushels across the road, ON
the Val Johnson farm, the average was
twenty-five bushels On the J, +.
Cropper farm, joining on tht south, the
wheat is now being ,hreshcd and is
running thirty bushels to the acre
Another farm in the same neighbor
hodo-Wesley Urban-has one field Of
tvcnty-three acres that made an aver
age yield of thirty-eight bushels The
average on the entire farm, however,
was but twenty tight bushels
The above figures are on farms
where the estimate, ten days ago, was
twenty bushels TO the acre. The est
mate at that time for the entire county
was placed at sixteen bushels Enid

ENGLISH CUT BREAD
use y PER CENT

Passengers arriving at an Atlantic
port on an American steamship said
that the recent food economy cam
paign in England had resulted in the
saving OF 22 per cent in the eonsump-
tion of bread. Beefless days had not
made so much difference. the passen-
gers said, because people ordered a
joint of meat the previous day and
had the remainder for the beefless
day following.
en- boxes had been placed on matches
in England, which has put an end to
the profiteering OF the dealers, who
were charging 30 cents or more a
dozen.
The British government had taken
over the entire output of tea from In
dia and Ceylon, and the food control
office has advised the public to drink
more coffee, of which there is plenty
In the bonded warehouses. There is
bacon famine in Great Britain on ac-
count OF the falling Off in the i'm
portations from Denmark and Ireland,
and there is no relief in sight the
officials have stated, until the end of
November, when big cargoes of ba-
con are expected to arrive from
America.
Vast quantities OF bacon are con-
sumed by the army in France and
Flanders, and the soldiers have to be
fed before the civilian population.
Beef and mutton averaged 26 to IS
cents pound when the liner sailed.
