IS LARGELY MARKETED

About 70 per cent of Canyon
county's enormous wheat crop
of this year has already been
placed on the market, accord
ing to Jay Galligan, manager of
the Caldwell Milling and Ele-

the crop is almost at stand

concerned, according to Mr..
Galligan. The real fall rush is
practically over. For about a :
month just past, grain has been
coming in at a rapid rate.
Local elevators are taxed to
capacity at present. In general,
the grain has been of high quail

yields reported. In spite of the
long dry summer, producers
express themselves as being
well satisfied with the results
obtained from yield per acre
standpoint.
