Sold S5,7I2.91 Worth of Small
Grain.

e. B. Bailey finished threshing his
oats and wheat last week and re-
ceived from the Alley Grain Company
a check for ,S5,712.91 in payment
dition to this Mr.. Bailey kept about
500 worth for seed purposes. The
Alley Grain Co. report this is the
largest amount ever paid at Prince
ton to single person for grain.
Mr.. Bailey had 2,65S bushels of
wheat, an average of little over
bushels to the acre. The yield was
not only heavy but the quality was
extra fine. He had two binders
which he kept going all the time
and had as high as 5 men shock
ing. His oat crop was exceptionally
good turning out 1916 bushels The
average per acre was 63 bushels on
one piece and 6S on the other. Mr..
Pailey now has force of men busy
cutting timothy for seed which
from appearance will turn out ex-
ira good, it being absolutely free
from weeds of all kinds and very
heavy on the ground. He has a
large acreage of corn planted which
has been laid by for some time and
if crop conditions continue for the
next two months as they are now he
will have one of the largest yields
ever know in this county. Men who
have been over his farm with him
estimate that he will have between
5 900 and $4,000 worth Of
grain this year.-Princeton Tele-

noon. Grandpa Cox has made his
home in this community for the
past SO years. He came to north

Iowa, when the country was new and
homesteaded. He and his family
went through. all the hardships of
the pioneer life and saw the country
develop from new to a beautiful
and prosperous country. Many old

acres for Decatur county or approx
mately ten acres for each quarter

patriotic citizen is sought in this
campaign. All good seed will be. To-
Gated and inspected when possible.
Winter wheat is much safer crop to
rely upon than spring wheat in this
section of the state 1t will produce
more and better grain and divide the
labor Of both harvesting. and seed
ing. 1t will make excellent nurse
crop for clover. 1t is more profitable
than oats and should replace oats
rather than corn. Hold al wheat
suitable for seed as the government

number one wheat for recleaned

with the county agent for particu-

Care should be taken to obtain
seed from heavy yielding fields that
are free from rust, scab and black
chaff.
