Probably the Best Wheat Yield in Jasper County.

John McColly, of Newton township, finished threshing Thursday and it is believed he had the best field of wheat ever raised in Jasper county. He had out 19 acres on Everet Halstead’s farm and it yielded 914 bushels, which is 48 bushels to the acre and two bushels to spare. John is mighty well pleased with his success and many , say that it is the largest yield they ever heard of in Jasper county. John had out another field of 22 acres but it turned out only 23 bushels to the acre.
