WHEAT SHOWS
70 PCT. Gain
Tests IS Percent In March
To 65 In February

Wheat. contrary to all prospects
last fall, is now coming along fine,
even that which was then discolored
having taken new life and is now of
II decidedly verdant hue. In the fall
the wheat crop was estimated at a
low percentage, but at the end of
February it tested 60 percent and the
March percentage is placed at 50, an
increase of 20 percent in one month.
The fact that the wheat made such
Il poor showing last fall and during
the early part of the winter is due,
according 10 County Agent Audcl-
son, to late planting, uniavorable
weather setting in when the time for
fall planting came.
One of the outstanding features in
the prospects for the 1918 wheat crop
is that exceedingly little wheat is
pulled out of the ground and every
inch Of ground planted is practically
covered. The fact is, all the wheat is
in the ground probably due to the
entire absence this winter of the us
ual alternate freezing and thawing.
II is the concensus of opinion, ac-
cording to the county agent, that the
wheat crop for 1918 will be far great
er than that of 1917 was. However
it is a little early for anything def
mite to be learned as to the quantity
of wheat that will be harvested by
American farmers this summer.
The past few days of exceptionally
warm weather have aided the wheat
crop greatly, bringing it out of the
ground and turning all of the discol.
ored blades a healthy green. What is
necessary now to insure a good
wheat crop for 1918 is warm rain
or one similar to that of Friday after
noon, except in more volume.
