OATS HARVEST NOW ON

Yield Is Prohleniari'.al. Bur Expected to Be Fair.—Wheat Thrashing Starts Next Week. Oats cutting has become quite general -he latter part of the present week, and next week will sc* them all in shock. While not a heavy crop like we had last* year, there are many pretty decent looking fields of oats throughout the co-’--- —'<t it remains now to see how they turn out. Most farmers agree that the continued and excessive hot weather of the past three weeks, when the oats were “filling,” has been detrimental and wip make them much lighter than had it been cooler. But, as a good farmer remarked to the writer Thursday, one can never tell very accurately what oats are going to turn out until thv begin thrashing them, and this is about correct. Wheat thrashing will begin next week and it is believed the average yield will be better :han 25 bushels to the a ere in Jasper county. Wheat and all other grain is a good price now, as will be noted in our market quotations elsewhere. Yesterday Rensselaer buyers quoted $1.05 for wheat; 75c for rye; 35c for oats and 74c for corn.
