A GOOD WHEAT YIELD, BUT

Henry Eiglesbach, just southwest of town, and one of the best farmers in Marion tp., threshed Saturday. From 30 acres of oats he only got 652 bushels, or about 22 bushels per acre, and they tested from 30 to 31 pounds to the bushel. From 12 acres of wheat he threshed 326 bushels, or about 27 bushels to the acre. Four acres of this made 122 bushels, or 30£ bushels to the acre. It also tested out 31 pounds to the “struct” half-bushel. Henry says that his oats and corn are tbe poorest this year that be has ever raised in all tbe time that he has been farming.
