ELLENDALE
"Paul Pry" Writes Of the News From
Ellendale in an Interesting Way.

VIII De pieaSeQ 10 see Paul Pry S
name again in the columns of ouI
county paper. We never expected him
to write again for these columns, but
the habit of forty years is difficult to
f break, and we find our inclinations
i stronger than our disposition to be
l. especially as those who have
/ been doing the work, have fallen
o down on the job for several weeks
I. past.
: Four threshing machines were in
e operation in the same vicinity, near
S Glendale, almost in sight of each
3 other ,apd this made it hard for the
l farmers to- man and keep operating
the four outfits; but it was accom-
= plished, and the bountiful yield of the
golden grain harvested is safely hous-
: ed within the barns and granaries;
} and some is sold to the millers for
very good prices. The yield was
} much above the average in most in
stances, and the fine weather of the
past two weeks enabled the threshing
to be accomplished with the grain in
excellent condition.
The best yields we have heard of
are those of Charles Belts, who got
forty bushels per acre on twenty-five
( acres. Charley Deputy got SO BUSH
els per acre on part of his acreage.
Edward Lord got 80 bushels per acre
from one of his fields. Norman Pret-
lyman got 25 bushels per acre, while
the Clendaniel farm, recently pur-
chased by William Simpson and ten
anted by Willard Spicer, produced 20
bushels per acre. This latter was an
unusual yield for the farm, but Mr.. I
simpson knows how to handle land to
get good crops, and helps the tenants :
10 help him. This is some of the best :
reports, but unfortunately, there are |
Always others who never do as well. q
A horse race which caused some ex- Y
citement was pulled off last Thursday O
afternoon about six o'clock at Ellen
dale Cross Roads, or "Dickerson's

money wagered upon the result of the
race and the result as reported was 3,
