Record Crop Seen
IN Inland Empire

ing demands for equipment.

cess in the amount received to date
for the average agricultural year, and
as a consequence even in the so-called
hazardous regions where normal yields
of wheat run from eight to ten BUSH
els per acre. agriculturalists see little
difference between the stands on
good land and the lands of lighter and
poorer quality, with every outlook
that the crop from these lands this
season will run from Is to 35 bushels
per acre.
With all implement dealers business
is reported fine with considerable diff
ficulty however, in making deliveries.
There is unusual activity from the
heaviest yield areas, where the old mach
ines are not in shape to handle the
Job and where they are shy on power
and require extra equipment to face
the harvest.
There is lots of combine activity
and the dealers are selling and contin-
uing to sell all they can get from their
factories Already, there is shortage
in some lines of tractors, with some
houses reporting the impossibillty to
get delivery of tractors ON specific
orders before next September and
October.
The consensus is nothing can stop
the Inland Empire now from having

are repeatedly "getting UP on their
