HEXRY LUEHSEN, GARNAVILLO, OCTOBER 21, 1914. 



General Condition of Crops and Season — No complaint should be made 

 in regard to crops or season in general. 



Corn — A good yield; average about 85 per cent. 



Oats — Good yield, but a great deal of it is not very heavy. The hot 

 weather ripened it too soon. 



Wheat — None raised. 



Rye — Very little raised. 



Barley — Not much raised, but the quality and yield are good. 



Flax — None raised. 



Sorghum — A good crop. 



Timothy — A good all around crop. 



Clover — A fair crop. A good deal of it cut for seed, but did not yield 

 very good. 



Prairie Hay — Average crop. 



Other Grains and Grasses — A fair crop. 



Potatoes — A big yield and good quality. ^ 



Vegetables — Never were better. 



Apples — Almost a total failure. 



Other Fruits — A good fair yield. 



Cattle — A good paying business Many of our farmers have all pure 

 bred stock and are making big money in the dairy business. 



Horses — A fine lot of good horses. 



Sioine — Still the principal industry of this county. They are raised in 

 large numbers and are of high grade stock. 



Sheep — Not as many raised as in former years; the low price of wool 

 is probably the cause. 



Poultry — An industry that should receive more attention. A good many 

 of our farmers have large numbers and they find them profitable. 



Bees — Not paid very much attention. 



Drainage — Natural.
