AND STILL ANOTHER.

Jay W. Stockton says he has one better for the threshing story. His oats yielded 2,279 bushels off of 20 acres, which would make an average of 113 19-20 bushels to the acre. These oats were sown on their place by Wm. Webb. They were put in nicely and on good rich soil, that had been fed on for many years. There were many oats blown down that they never got, they have turned the hogs in- to clean the field. And while looking after the hogs discovered there was more ground in the field than 20 acres and got to figuring and found there was 50 acres in the field, but decided that was a good yield, making an average after this. „ The Wheat ground was measured and it made 26 bushels to acre, none of the acres getting away, since it was drilled in last fall. They have decided to measure thir filds bfor making an average after this. xx
