SOME GOOD CROPS
IN NEIGHBORHOOD

This week while the Republican
men were nosing around the neigh
borhood, looking at various ranches
we noticed several tracts of grain
which looked to us to be a little
above the average.
Lloyd Morton has a patch of wheat
which has all the appearance of max
ing a big yield at maturity. Mr..
Morton got the seed for his wheat
and planted it as an experiment. 1t
is now almost four feet high and the
heads ere fine and uniform. 1t has
not started to fill out as yet, but
when it does and has ripened we pre-
dict it will make record yield. Many
people of the vicinity have admired
this wheat and are watching 1t close
ly.
Another fine piece of grain is a
field of barley planted by d. M
Braucht. This has also attracted
much attention. A small portion of
the grain lodged during the recent
rain and wind, but the balance gives
promise of making big yield.
John Boneeher is now stacking
his first cutting of alfalfa. 1t is fine
and the cutting heavy.
The loss from the recent rains on
the down hay is not so heavy as at
first feared The shocks were brok-
en- up by the ranchers and the hay
cured much better than they had
hoped.
The fruit crop in this section is
good this year. Cherries are fine,
and the raspberry and early peach
crops are above the average. The
housewife need have no fear of be-
ing unable to put up all the fruit
for winter needs the family will need.
