OATS YIELD REPORTS SHOW ONLY A FAIR CROP.

* Farmers for the most part are binning their oats and the local elevators report that' no considerable amount of oats have been marketed here this season. However, meagre reports show that the average yield will run better than thirty bushels, which is not at all bad considering the dry weather we have had. The 1 quality is very good. [ Joseph Naigel, Sr., reports a yield of forty-seven bushels ,pdr acre for seventy acres, which graded thirty - two pounds per bushel. Frank Kanne states that his yield was slightly better than forty bushI els. Some other good yields of from .thirty-five to forty bushels have been reported. Carpenter township is averaging thirty-five to forty-five bushels. Tom May has a yield of forty-five bushels and George Wood of forty bushels. Floyd Gratner has the best yield reported to date with forty-eight bushels per acre. Gifford farmers find the average between thirty and thirty-five bushels, and the same condition is found in Kankakee township.
