WEST PART OF
STATE HAS
BEST WHEAT
Average Yield Over the Slope
Is Z While Some Goes
Over Is Bushels

Threshing returns from various
parts of the state indicate that the
western part of the state shows the
best wheat returns, some which was
planted early going as high as 10
bushels to the acre and grading No.
/ dark northern in Morton county.
The average yield over the Slope is
we'll over seven. While the wheat
yield is low comparatively the corn
crop is reported to be one Of the
finest in the history of the state.
Since the beginning of threshing
in Morton county it has been found
that while the yield is a little better
than seven bushels, it grades from
No. 1 dark northern to rejected al
though many fields produce Is bush
els or better per acre.
The spotted condition of the crops
is shown by the threshing returns
from three farms southwest of the
city operated jointly by Glen Earle,
and Hugh Taylor. Two fields on the
Taylor farms netted Is bushels OF
No 1 dark northern; one field pro
duced 10 bushels graded as No.
While other fields adjoining Melted
800 bushels which graded No. 3.
The gluten content is about four
per cent better than last year ac-
cording to Fl. r. Roberts of the Rus
sell Miller Milling company who ex-
poets the quality to be reflected in
the price when surplus stocks car
RED over from last year are cx-
hausted "The yields range from 3
to Is and from choice to rejected"
said Mr.. Roberts. "The fifteen bushel
fields are rather an exception
though | would say that most of the
farms would yield better than seven
bushels.
As result of interviews with
threshing crews operating reports
show the following figures of pro-
duction:
Mandan through Oliver county to
Hazen in Mercer bushels acreage;
Beulah to Werner to 10 bushels;
Dunn Center, badly hailed about s
bushels acreage; Killdecr bushels !;
.Mandan to New Salem 7 to 8; New
Salem about 7; Glen Ullin to TO-;
Hebron 5 to 10. The south line shows
even more varied returns, some sec

with an average of 3 to 8.
- Mr.. Roberts declared that about
1000 bushels of wheat had been
marketed here so far, but stated
that he did not believe over a half q
car load had moved out of the Slop,
county to terminal markets. Most OF
the farmers are delaying sales unit

failed or won them better prices, il
