To Gross $57,000 On Wheat Crop
YVRSTHOPE. N. D„ Sept 10 - (UP)--Farmer Howard Henry said today he was "growing gold” on the tip of every stalk of wheat rovering his 1.700 acres of land. Her.ry is harvesting his 1047 cm i this week an.l figures he will gross about $f>7.000 from land which would not yield a spear cf grain 15 years ago. He expects to have about 25,000 bushels of wheat piled up on the ground and kn the granaries on his farm by the end of the) week, and tha.t repiesents a lot of money, with wheat selling at mure than $2.60 a bushel. Hut there was a time when it wasn't even worth the effort to pour gasoline in a tractor. That was in the dreary dust bowl
days.
1 Ving a $50,000 a year mam at least this year I can. afford to laugh about it '.'.ow," Henry said. "Hut it wasn't at ail funny
then.”
In those days Henry was a tir d hungiy man. He was farming n'-ar the tiny town of Holla, N. IX, with out even enough ; money to buy a tire for his beat'
en-up old truck.
