LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

Letter From Fred Schank, Now of Fordville, N ,D. Fordville, N. D., Oct. 17. Editor Jasper County Democrat, Dear Sir:—Enclosed please find $1.50 for renewal of my subscription to the Jasper County Democrat, as I don’t want to be without it. lam very much interested in the Jasper county news. Thrashing is very nearly all completed here now. We had a pretty good crop this year. Wheat made from 25 to 40 bushels per acre and is at this date worth 95 cents? per bushel. Oats from 50 to 75 bushels per acre and are worth 30 cents per bushel. Barley about 40 bushels per acre, worth 40 cents a bushel. The Hoosiers have little idea how they thrash here. The thrasherman furnishes everything. All the farmer has to do is to take care of his grain. They charge here 7 cents a bushel for oats, 8 cents for barley and 11 cents for wheat. My thrashing bill was S4OO. We have about 120 acres fall plowing done. Yours respectfully, FRED SCHANK.
