The cutting of the wheat crop in
this section is about completed and
in a few days the threshers will be-
gin threshing out the grain. The
yield per acre this year is somewhat |
above the average, but the acreage |
was greatly curtailed because of the |
low prices received for last years |
crop. Wheat wintered in good shape |
and made rapid growth after warm |
weather came. The heads are long |
and we'll filled with grain. Much rye |
was sown in the Broadkill section |
last fall and this crop is now being
garnered. The yield is a bumper one
and growers are expecting good
prices because it's condition is such
that much of it will be sold as seed
instead of to the feed mills.
