ALLAMAKEE. 



GEO. S. HALL, AVArKON. 



General Condition of Crops and Season — Generally very good. 



Corn— Much better than the average; about fifty bushels to the acre, 

 and the quality is very good. 



Oats — Rather poor quality, as the heat and rust hurt it badly. I think 

 about an average yield. 



Wheat — Very little wheat grown in this county. The quality was very 

 good and the yield from eighteen to twenty-five bushels per acre. 



Rye — Just a small amount raised, but the quality was good. 



Barley — A medium crop, the hot winds damaging it to some extent. 



Flax — Very little raised. 



Buckwheat — Grows very good in this county, but there is but a limited 

 acreage. 



Millet — But very little raised this season. 



Sorghum — Excellent. 



Timothy — Very good this year, a large amount being cut for seed. 



Clover — Excellent. About two tons to the acre, and there is a great 

 deal being cut for seed. 



Other Grains and Grasses — Lots of blue grass. 



Potatoes — Medium yield; very good quality. 



Vegetables — Superior quality. 



Apples — None to speak of.
