hats Of all sorts. The need for shoes
Is especially great and il the shoes

be convenience if they will notify
the committee by calling Telephone

Big Wheat Crop
in Wayne County
BY J. c. Kline.

Probably one OF the largest wheat
crops in the history OF Wayne county
was raised this year. A total OF 1885,
057 bushels from 33,37s acres was
produced by actual figures furnished
by threshermen operating In Wayne
county. This makes an average yield
Of q bushels per acre, which is seven
bushels more than the average of the
state, covering a period OF ten years.
Last year Wayne county farmers
produced 477.l08 bushels of wheat.
The former figures show that farmers
are working harder and are more care
full in putting out the wheat than they
have been heretofore.
