Fine Oats Near Roselawn; One Field Made 60 Bushels.

S. M. Laßue, the Roselawn merchant, reports fine oats in that neighborhood. The threshing there is now just about completed, there having been some delays recently on account of rain. The largest yield - per acre was reported by Sharp Hanley, who had out 70 acres which a'veraged 60 bushels to the acre. A more remarkable yield, perhaps, was that of G. H. Hillis, who* had out 240 acres, which yielded an average of 5iy 2 bushels per acre. Oats generally averaged around forty bushels, says Mr. Laßue, and his own made that average. The price now is about 44 cents and this will make a very profitable crop.
