The grain in the southeastern part
Of Mckenzie county is turning out
about the same as in other localities
this fall. Tony Zurn had q field Of
wheat that yielded 10 to IL bushels
to the acre which is about the best
reported, the beneral averaging being
about half this. Flax yields are re-
ported all the way from 2 to z bush
els to the acre, and almost every set
tier seems to have a little. One of
the finest crops Of corn often seen
was grown. this year by Don McKen-
zie. The ears ripened nicely. He will
use the corn for his stock, having
about five acres of the feed. AS a
rule the farmers are going to be a
little short of funds until they can get
another crop, and it stands them in
hand to get along as economically as
possible. They all have plenty Of fuel
or should have, as this country is
blessed with an abundance Of native
coal and there is considerable wood TO
be found in the draws.
