WRIGHT. 



Ralph C. Bras, Clart07i, Iowa, October lo^ igo^. 



The past season has been a very favorably one for all agricultural 

 products. While, perhaps, the spring was a little too wet, summer and the 

 harvest season was all that could be asked. 



C^r«— Was well out of harm's way at time of first killing frost, October 

 5th, and the crop will be the largest gathered since 1895, and is of excellent 

 quality. 



Oats— This crop was much above the average for the last ten years, it 

 yielding on an average about forty-five bushels machine measure per acre, 

 and overrun in weight about twenty per cent. 



Wheat — Small acreage sown, but yielded from fifteen to twenty-five 

 bushels per acre and was of good quality. 



Barley— The acreage sown each year is increasing, as farmers are using 

 it as early feed for their hogs. It yielded about forty-five bushels per acre 

 the past season, and was of good quality. 



Report of fair— Utld at Clarion, September 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th.
