S. C. CULBERTSON, JEFFERSON, OCTOBER 29, 1913. 



General Condition of Crops and Season — Early part of season un- 

 usually favorable. Lack of rains the latter part of July and the first 

 half of August resulted in an appreciable loss in all crops. 



Corn — Very small crop on sandy soil and on the heavy black soil our 

 crops will be slightly under the average. As near as can be estimated 

 about an average of 25 bushels to the acre; good quality. 



Oats — The yield of oats will also be somewhat less than an average 

 season; will average around 25 bushels per acre; quality is excellent. 



Wheat — Comparatively little wheat raised in this county. However, 

 winter wheat averages about 25 bushels per acre. 



Rye — But little rye raised here. 



Barley — None to speak of. 



Flax — But little raised. 



Buckicheat — I know of none. 



Sorghum— Yery little raised. 



Timothy — Only a fair crop. 



Clover — Early clover very light; later growth very good. 



Prairie Hay — None to speak of. 



Other Grains and Grasses — We have fields of alfalfa producing from 

 three to four tons per acre. The growing of alfalfa in this county is 

 considered by those who have tried it a good crop to raise. 



Potatoes — Almost a total failure. Farmers are buying potatoes for 

 home consumption from local merchants. 



Vegetables — Generally a very light crop. 



Apples — Almost a failure. 



Other Fruits — All small fruits a very light crop. 



Cattle — Shortage owing to high prices and lack of pasture. 



Horses — Quality improving. We produce plenty of horses for local 

 needs and many for tlic foreign markets. Prices are much less than a 

 year ago for common farm horses.
