FIRST 1919 WHEAT MARKETED.

Frank Hamer, of Jordan township, brought to this city the first of the 1919 crop of wheat. A number of others have marketed wheat, but it is still difficult to tell about the quality and also the quantity. Mr. Hamer’s wheat yielded about f ourteen bushels to. the acre. William Morris has also marketed some wheat and a number of threshing machines are now in operation. Amos Alter, of Union township, was threshing Monday. Simon Thompson expected to have a machine at work on his farm at the north edge of the city this afternoon.
