A two million bushel yield of wheat.
the largest by nearly half million
bushels OF any crop the county has
ever harvested, Is the prediction OF II,
Il. Earring, manager of the Earring
Grain Company who returned yester-
day afternoon from Pauline, for the
season OF 1921. Mr.. Earring, who Ia
also chairman of the board of county
commissioners, has been In the grain
business in Power County for nine
years and Is OF the opinion that the
1921 yield win eclipse anything ever
produced here
His report Is based ON a thorough
canvas OF conditions In every section
of the county. He has been to the
head OF Rockland Valley, visited In de-
tail the Arbon and Pauline districts,
has been In the Quigley section and
all over the territory west OF Ameri-
can Falls.
1911 Last Big Year,
"Nlneteen fourteen was our big year"
said MIR. Earring yesterday. During
that season we marketed approximate
ly one and half million bushels OF
wheat, putting American Falls to the
fore as the premier secondary wheat
shipping point In the United States.
, In the year 1919 we had our largest
acreage In wheat but the yield fell
! down, due to drouth and late frosts.
! This season we have the advantage of
4 an acreage that approaches 1919 and
. even more moisture than we had In
Q 1914
I, Il predict that the average yield for
u the county will be twenty bushels 10
= the acre. This Is n conservative estl
y y mate In view of tho splendid indica-
u tions at the present time. Some fields
! In the richer sections Will average az
a. high as forty bushels and there viii
y be a considerable number OF them.
~ twenty bushel yield all over the conn'
~ ty Will give us the largest productioi
we have ever had by @ pargin OF 400,
~ ~ 900 bushels Of grain.
