HOgging Dozen Wheat
and Rye in laurence

Lawrence is one of the few coun-
ties in the state where the farmers
are hogging down wheat and rye.
Fifteen farms were visited in June
by County Agent c. L Watson
where a committee estimated the
yield of wheat and rye to be hOgged.
Each one Of the committeeman
would write down his estimate on
a piece of paper before any com
ments were made. These estimates
were added together and divided by
the number of estimates in order
TO get the average yield. In most
Instances there would not be more
than bushels difference in any of
the estimates. r. several instances
the weights of the hogs TO be turned
in was also estimated by the COM
mittee Several OF the cOoperators
will weigh their hogs before they
are turned in. Some of the farmers
claim that they realize from $50
to $500 profit per bushel Of wheat
or rye hogged down. If this is
found TO be true. this method of
handling their wheat and rye may
be recommended 10 the formers in
the county.
