WARREN. 



lee TALBOTT, IXDIANOLA, OCTOBER 8, 1906. 



General Condition of Crops and Season — The season has been ex- 

 ceptionally favorable, and nearly all crops were above the average in 

 yield and of excellent quality. Warren is one of the "Three River" 

 counties, and is one of the best agricultural and stock raising counties 

 in the State. 



Corn — An excellent crop. Will yield from fifty to eighty bushels 

 per acre, and is of highest grade. 



Oat.s — An average yield, and of good quality. 



Wheat — About an equal ■ amount of spring and winter varieties 

 raised, and quality was excellent. Acreage in this county has been much 

 reduced from former years. 



Rye — Small acreage, but yielded a good crop. 



Barley — Very little raised. 



Flax — None raised. 



Buckwheat — None raised. 



Millet — None raised. 



Sorghum — Very little raised. 



Timothy — A good crop, both for pasture and hay. The meadows 

 yielded a good average crop of excellent quality hay. 



Clover — Exceptionally good, many meadows yielding two crops of fine 

 quality hay. 



Prairie Hay — Almost a thing of the past in this county, all unculti- 

 vated land having long since gone to bluegrass and white clover. 



Other Grains and Grasses — Good. 



Potatoes — Light crop of early varieties, while the late ones made a. 

 good yield and were of excellent quality. 



Vegetables — An immense crop of all varieties. 



Apples — The largest crop ever raised in this county, and winter va- 

 rieties were especially fine in quality. 



Other Fruits — Excellent crop of peaches and pears, as well as all ber- 

 ries and small fruits.
