Jasper County Democrat, Volume 11, Number 26, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 July 1908 — WHEAT IS A, GOOD CROP. [ARTICLE]

WHEAT IS A, GOOD CROP.

Several good yields of wheat are reported in Jasper county again this year, which confirms the opinion several times expressed in The Democrat that our farmers should sow more wheat and less oats. D. H. Yeoman had 30 acres that averaged 30 bushels to the acre. John Marlatt of Marion tp., had 25 acres that averaged 26 bushels to the acre, and Charles Lakin of Union' had 12 acres that averaged 31 bushels to the acre. This beats oats at 40 to 50 bushels to the acre, and we seldom get over about one-half that many.
