GETTING OUT WHEAT WV
Among the first in our community
to place new wheat in market this
year was w. Polk Cummins. He
threshed and delivered his crop
last week, and says he got a good
yield. The general report is that
wheat is turning out very well
from the straw and that the berry
is usually fine. Several crops have
been threshed during the past
week and there will be no let up
now till majority of the fields in
this section have been put through
the cylinder, as threshing out of
the field has become quite a gener-
al practice. Good weather is now
earnestly desired by the farming
community, in order that the bust
ness Of threshing may go steadily
on until the peach picking COM
menceS and the wheat not be
sprouted in the shock.
