BANNER WHEAT CROP.

The banner piece of wheat reported to us is that of Amos Davisson’s. He had one hundred acres which averaged thirty-seven and one-half bushels to the acre. The quality is reported to be firstckiss. Ernest Morlan, who is looking after the conservation of the wheat in this county reports that where the shock rows in a twenty acre field were raked, twenty-five bushels of wheat were saved.
