reft husband, had arrived at Chicago

CROPS IN COUNTY
SHOW GOOD YIELDS J;
Wheat in County viii Range from
II to q Bushels TO Acre,
Some 80 To Acre

The 1922 harvest in Kandiyohi Coun-
ty will bring in crops of small grain
that will compare favorably with the
average in this territory for the past
ten years, said local elevator man.
.Altho but ten per cent of the thresh-
ing has been done thus far, from its
results a quite reliable survey of the
crops of the county can be made. TIL
reshing is now in full blast thruout
the county.
The quality of the grain being brot
into local elevators is very good altho
the quantity is not as great. Reduced
acreage has cut down the quantity
largely. Placed at the side OF the
1915 excellent crop in both quality
and quantity the 1922 yield would be
considered good normal crop.
The crops in the southern part Of
the county are the best in the past
three years. The dry weather is
harming the corn and unless rain
comes as a long waited relief the
yield will be very light. fs.
The wheat yield per acre ranges at
present from II to 23 bushels. The
Orphans Home near Eagle Lake have
reported as high as 80 bushels to an
acre but this soil is grub land.
Oats will range as high as 80 bush
els to the acre. More oats are being
planted by the farmers because the
yield is better and the wear on the
soil is not SO great. The oat crop this
year is larger than any yield during
the past ten years. l. 81
The barley crop will range from 90
to so bushels to the acre. A report
from the Andrew Eastlund farm shows
that from some 3 acresshe realized a
yield OF 159 bushels. The barley ac-
reage had been greatly reduced over
past years. ss5
In the town*o Of Holland a yield of 70
and so bushels Of oats was made per
acre. 81
The State Farm near Willmar re-
ports from 60 to 20 bushels Of oats to
the acre. Barley went up to SO bush
els to the acre.
From Willmar township comes a re-
port Of rye from 20 to 80 bushels and
barley from 80 to 50 bushels.
a Whitedeld farmer reports IS bu.
shells of oats to the acre.
Another WilImar farmer states that
he received 4S bushels Of barley and
some 81 bushelsof oats TO the acre.

Fifty Orphans Now Entered In
Charity Institution Maintain
ed by Free Church

A special directors meeting was
held at the Bethesda Homes in the
afternoon of August 7th. Those pres
ent were: Rev. E. M. Hanson from
New London, Prof. c. E. Nordberg,
and Rev. Johan Mattson from Mime
apolis, J. B. Johnson from Irving of
this county, Frantz Weltzin from
Donnelly, and C. A. Baklund, Ole Pc

Some fifty orphans are taken care
of at the Bethesda Homes. These
range in age from to 16 years. They
are of different nationalities and from.
various parts of the United States.
Four Of them are from the City Of
Willmar. There are four ladies en-
ployed at the Old Peoples Home and
five at the Orphans Home A 22S-acre
farm is operated and run by two en-
ployed men. Jennie Olson is the ma
tron and in charge.
The Orphans home is an exclusive
ly charitable institution while the Old
Peoples Home up to the past few
years has been self sustaining. The
past two or three years have been a
financial burden to the Bethesda
Homes. AS donations from the yari-
GUS congregations Of the Lutheran
Free Church of America are solicited
to maintain the institution the income
from this source during past years
has been diminished Costs Of main
tanning the institution are increasing
while greater difficulty is met in se-
curing the subscriptions.
At the directors meeting Monday
the proposition to construct much
needed barn at the Homes to take care
of the stock was voted down as it could
not be financially undertaken at this
time. 5a
