JulldCtCd 1sCCOiu. VoiSSA OiOAn,
of Fix ridge reports that he had one
OF the best crops of wheat he has
lad in 20 years this season. Fifteen
acres of it was pure Jenkins club,
which threshed out better than 40 |
bushels to the acre, or to be exact |
he says off of the Is acres he got
24S sacks which averaged 1872 pounds
to the sack making Al bushels and
"A pounds to the acre. Mr.. Clark
figures that there are about eight
bushels to the acre more gained by
sowing pure seed and will seed all
his land next year with pure
jenkins Club. All told he had 280
acres of grain both fall and spring
sown and threshed 4158 sacks, which
tested SO and half pounds. He has
sold his crop for 90c per busheI and
finished hauling it to the warehouse
last week.
VIM. Cox, of American ridge, also
reports good results from pure
Jenkins Club seed. He threshed
755 sacks from SO acres of spring
sown which weighed 1872 pounds to
the sack. Seventy acres of fall
wheat made As bushels to the acre.
1t was the pIumpest and incest
wheat he ever raised he says, and
was the third straight crop Of
wheat on this piece CT ground. 1t
lacked only two per cent of testing
pure Jenkins Club.
Troy News; Anybody who thought
the fire siren now being tried out
was small "punkins" have differ
.ent opinion after the bowling, wall
ing shrieking demonstration it gave
during the st,Ily hours of night on
Monday. Manager Solberg let the
date for the demonstration slip over
couple of nights to give folks a
chance to forget the notice publish
ed IN last weeks News, and as a
result some few did some lively
hustIing, thinking there was fire
downtown. Some others, who hao
not seen the notice, were reported
to have done some explicit cusslno
in their own particular way as they
tore around, because there was a
fire on and nobody gong to it. The
only two people IN town, as far az
we know, whu say the siren is ne
good are Charlie Thompson ant
Doc. Peterson. They didn't wake
up.
Deary Press: Thanks to the flint
weather of the past three weeks
the big 1921 crop is now in sack O.
BIN and is being transported to tn
market. This years threshlng wa
accomplished with but small mum
ber of smut explosions IN tn
county. There were no mlshaps o
this nature in this section.
Should rains moisten the groun
early, a large acreage of winte
wheat will be sown. Standardlzs
ton of wheat is to be given NOR
attention than heretofore, largel
on account of the standardlzatio
campaign that is being carried 0
by the county farm bureau.
Genesee News: According to
statement made by j. B. Sanborl
one of the county commissioners {
q Whitman county. there is no trut
i'm the statement made by Ge'
Morscheck and others who had visi

regard to the missing link" I
highway between Genesee and Lev
aston and that tine statement th
they had refused to build the ros
is not founded On real facts"
There are those who would Ill
to know just what the Whltm'
commissioners did mean. the
when they made the statement tn
they had no money, no rock crushe
and did not know when they wou
build the link, after making t
statement that they could not acce
the proposition made by Mr.. MOI
check that if they did not have t
money to build it, Genesee and LIE
iston would either build it or fl
nish the money with which to bu
the link, and yet they refused
take any action in the matter.
Is it a fact, then, that Mr.. Mo
check made misstatements?
