ditions in the vicinity Of his farm, and
also that of his father, are much bet
ter than they expected them to be a
few weeks ago. Harvest is well under
way, they just having finished cutting
100 acres of wheat on the home place
which they have good. reason to be-
lieve will average 20 bushels per acre.
The straw is very light but the
bundles are heavy with the headed
grain, little more than a pound OF
twine per acre being required. Other
crops are fairly good with the excep-
ton Of hay, which will no doubt be
| the lightest in the history Of the
fcountry. a large number OF farmers
however, are ortunate In having for
age feeds which will be a big help n
jgetting their stock through the wint-
en-. The Beattys were among t1e
early settlers Of that section q tne
lsountry.
