FARMERS ARE BUSY
AT THIS SEASON
Wheat Harvest About At
Peak; Good Crop Hay
and Barley

With harvesting, hay making.
corn blowing and other necessary
duties included at this time Of
the year, farmers of the county
are now in the midst of a busy
season.
The wheat harvest is about at
its heights, in some sections hay
ing passed its peak of cutting. If
is understood that there has been
more acreage sown in wheat than
last year and the wheat. generally
is good The ripening process of
wheat depends on various condi-
lions. such as the time of sowing.
field exposure and kind of soil, etc.
1t can readily be seen in viewing
the wheat fields, that grain rip
ems sooner on high lands and
slate soil.
The hay crop is also reported
generally good in the county this
year. There can be seen some
fine fields of clover and timothy
Alfalta is becoming quite a crop
in this section, according to far
mers. Aa high as three crops
can be raised one the same
ground in one season. A farmer
who has made study of this par
tlcular crop denies that it is det-
rlmental to the soil; rather. he
says, it is beneficial, because it
serves as a legume and makes a
fine subsoil. Heretofore it has
been largely a western crop.
The barley harvest comes in
just a little before the wheat cut
ting and most of the barley fields
are now on shocks. There are
three kinds of barley raised in the
county = the smooth, bearded
and smooth+barbIess the last
named being partly smooth and
partly bearded This variety is
better adapted to the ground in
this section and an effort is be-
ing made to have farmers adopt
it more than the others. J. Kief-
fer Funk raised barley this year
which Melted So bushels to the
acre.
