Tho coming Of the farm tractor has
worked another revolution in farming
in Audrain county. There was a time
when theer wer only a few threshing
outfits in the county, big, steam
driven affairs, who toured the county
at harvest time and for whom the
farmer had to wait his turn.
That day is apparently gone. Some
farmers, who have from five to six
hundred acres in wheat own their own
tractor and separator and in two
seasons save enough out of doing
their own threshing to pay for the
machine.
In some instances several neigh
bors, who plant large acreages of
wheat, join together and purchase a
threshing outfit They all join in
paying the expenses and helping with
the work. An other good result of CO.
operation among the farmers.
There are more threshing separ-
ators in Audrain today than in its his
tory and apparently there will be
many more added to these in the next
few years. One group of farmers
who are threshing 1900 acres will save
,nough from threshing fees by doing
the work with their own machine this
year to pay for the outfit.

A large wheat acreage, coupled
with facilities for rapid handling of
the product, have made this past week
the busiest of the season for Audrain
wheat men, according to Cortez Ed
monston of the Pollock Milling Co.,
who stated that during the week they
had received more grain than at any
time since the record crop of 1918.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1921-07-21

The corn needs rains. 1t is not
suffering but a good rain would be of
great benefit to the corn crop. In
some parts of the county the wheat
and oats crop have been far from
what was expected while in others the
yield has been a god average. Most
of the farmers are bringing on the
corn crop to help more than any other
crop this year. About all that could
hurt the corn crop would be a bad
drouth as it is far advanced toward
maturity. In fact better advanced
than most years at this time.

First the return OF peace. For the hrSt

We thank God for that officially and in
fact our nation stands IN relation or

have lately learned what IL means 10 he

our praise Is gratitude for the return OF
