Allen Louks writes The Democrat from Cambridge, lowa, and among other things says: “We are busy threshing and have been (or the last ten days. Have near three weeks threshing yet. Oats in our “ring’ are making from 42 -to 84 bushels per acre; winter wheat is making as high as 46 bushels and spring wheat from 23 to 31 bushels. The winter wheat is far the best. Corn is looking fine, but is about two weeks later than usual. Old corn is 64c a bushel; old oats 39e; new oats, 27c. Lots of corn has been moving in the past three, weeks. "Fruit is scarce. No apples nor peaches and very few plums. Lots of peaches are being shipped in and sell readily at $2 per bushel.”
