One Hundred Bushel Oats Crop Reported by A. Kahler.

The largest yield of oats reported in Jasper county so far as we have learned was on Andrew Kahler’s farm southwest of town. He had twelve acres that produced 1,213 bushels, which was 101 bushels per acre and a bushel to spare. George Kanne had 50 acres that produced 4,080 bushels, which was an average of 81 3-6 bushels per acre. The Welsh boys had an average yield of 63 bushels. Many others are prepared to have from 70 to 75 bushels per acre. The yield is probably double that of last year and as the price is high and there was a monstrous wheat yield in addition it seems as though despite the rains there will Still be a great deal of prosperity throughout Jasper county. From the Newton County Enterprise published at Kentland, the following report of the yield in Newton county is taken: “Farmers have dodged in between showers during the past week and threshed a few fields of grain. On the Isaac Smart farm south of Kentland a 70 acre field of wheat yielded 37 bushels to the acre. Will Martin on 35 acres reports 36 bushels, and Charles White on fifty acres reports 40 bushels. The largest yield of oats so far reported in Jefferson township, from the few fields that have been threshed, was 76 bushels from a 14 acre field of Wilson brothers.
