NOT MUCH WHEAT THRESHED

A* Yet on Account of the Oat* Harvest Coming On So Soon. The Democrat has been unable to get very much of a line on the wheat yields as yet for the reason that very little threshing has been done on account of the fact that oats cutting came on so quickly and the fanmers bad to side-track threshing to work in the oats fields. Here are a few yields reported: W. H. Wortley, seven miles south of town, on the Remington road, had 24 acres which made 18 bushels per acre. Frank Kanne on the former S. E. Sparling farm, one mile southwest of town, 33 acres, 23 bushels to the acre. Amos Alter of near Parr has not threshed all his wheat at this writhing, but the fields, threshed have averaged about 16 bushels per acre and tested 55 to 56 pounds to the bushel. The remainder, be thinks, will do a little better than this.
