HARVEST LOOMS
Farmers In County Expect
To Double Last Years
Total Yield

Although weight is lighter than
usual, Ottawa county's wheat crop
this year will be nearly double
last years total. Officials at the
Lundgard mill stated that mois-
ture content isn't bad but that the
weight is averaging only 81 pounds
comparable to the usual 60 pounds
per bushel.
At the Lundgard mill, operators
were filling the fifth railroad car
Wednesday. Marvin Lundgard ex-
pected to handle nearly 10000
bushels of the "staff Of life"
grain, over double last years to-
tai.
Growers believe that the exceed
ingly wet spring can be blamed
for the light weight. Farmers be-
gan bringing wheat to the mill last
week, and the work is expected to
continue through next week.
With combines saving much of
the back-breaking work and speed
ing up the harvesting, threshing
operations in the county no longer
last for weeks.
