A report from Ellis says: Wheat
harvesting in this vicinity is about
eighty per cent finished and will
yield close to twenty bushels per
acre. It will test Sc to So pounds
and is exceptionally clean. There
are some fields between Ellis and
Hays being cut by the newly invent
ed harvester threshers. Six men
operate 1t and within forty minutes
after the sickle cuts the grain the
wheat was in town, dumped, and in
the elevator and the owner had the
money for 1t in the bank. This pro-
badly is the best record on wheat
harvesting yet known here and just
to show what could be done, a large
gasoline tractor followed the thresh-
er harvester pulling gang plows
thus completing all possible opera
lions in wheat field all in a few
minutes, with the single exception
of the reseeding.
