SOME WHEAT YIELDS.

Again a Much Better Paying Crop Than Oats Or Com In . Jasper County. pijenrv Eiglesbach of soutliwest of town seems to have knocked the spots off all other wheat growers of t!he county on a 4% acre field of Turkey Red wheat, the seed for which he sent away for. Its yield was 180 and it tested out 62 pounds to the bushel, the elevator men pronouncing it the . finest wheat they ever saw.

Lawler, had 55 acres, but four acres |of this was wintei killed, leaving hut 51 acres. It threshed out 1,700 bushels, or’ a

little better than 33 bus<hels to the acre. ; ' Jo£ Putts, also in that vicinity,' had about 15 acres and his yield was about 20 bushels to the acre. Henry Luers, with the same number of acres, got 24 bushels per acre. Thirty acres at St. Joseph's College far mwent 25 bushels to the acres.
