Jasper County Democrat, Volume 15, Number 34, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 31 July 1912 — New Oats Coming In. [ARTICLE]

New Oats Coming In.

The first new oats of the season came in Friday; They were ra ; sed by Ike Parker, who resides on one of Everett Halstead’s farms in Newton tp., and, of course, were the early variety of oats. They tested out 3,0 pounds to the bushel and one field, we understand, yielded 44 bushels to the acre and another field 61 bushels. These “Fourth of July oats,” as they are commonly called, seldom yield over 40 bushels to the acre. These were of good quality and color. The later oats will not begin to come in until next week.
