THE SURREY THRESHING RUN.

The Surrey threshing run was completed Monday. The run was threshed by Al and Tony Kanne. On the run there was. 10,500 bushels of wheat. The average per acre was sixteen and one-half bushels. Grant Rishling had the best yield, his wheat averaging a little better than twenty-one bushels to the acre. Twenty-five thousand bushels of oats were threshed on this run. The average per acre was about thirty bushels. Erhart Wuerthner had the best yield of oats, his average per acre being about forty-two and onehalf bushels. It is said that the good housewives on this run helped in a most excellent way by furnishing some of the very best feeds. Yellow-legged chickens and country-cured hams with the many other good things found only on the farmer’s table were thoroughly enjoyed by the faithful harvesters.
