NEVER SAW BETTER OATS CROP

John P. Ryan was down from Gillam township Thursday. They had not begun threshing yet in his section of the county and he thought they would not get started until next week. While there are only a few small patches of poor wheat in Gillam this year, Mr. Ryan eays that the oats are the best they ever raised. In fact, he said that he never saw as good oats all the way along between his place and Rensselaer as they have this year. There have been no rains since the oats were cut and the shocks are standing so thick In the fields and are such a beautiful golden bolor that they present a splendid picture, indeed. The oats straw this year Will make lots of good rough fodder for the cattle.
