Harvesting Oats in the Flathead. 



bushels; oats that averaged 52 bushels and flax 18. None of the above mentioned 

 crops are considered phenomenal, by any manner of means, and it is believed when 

 the secretary's records are completed that they will show a large number of others 

 fully as good, and very probably some that are even better. 



Jordan Gazette—Probably one of the best average yields of crops raised in Daw- 

 son county this season was harvested by John Womble, who resides near the head 

 of Vail creek, 20 miles northwest of Jordan. Mr. Womble settled on the land a little 

 more than two years ago, but did not start to do any breaking until the spring of 

 1914. Since that time he has put 250 acres of raw prairie sod under a high state of 

 cultivation and in the finest condition to produce excellent crops. 



Mr. Womble this season threshed 3,342 bushels of fine, clean and well matured 

 wheat. He had several different varieties of this grain, the yields of which were 

 as follows: Marquis spring wheat went 34 bushels to the acre; Turkey Red winter 

 wheat produced 40 bushels per acre, and two or three other varieties did not yield 

 so well. Mr. Womble considers the Marquis the best spring wheat for this country, 

 its growth and maturity seeming to be especially adapted to the climate and other 

 conditions. He had 16 acres of oats which yielded 700 bushels. 



FALLON COUNTY. 



Baker Sentinel — As threshing progresses reports are coming in placing the yields 

 fully up to, if not beyond expectations. Hans Hanson is reported as having threshed 

 40 bushels to the acre of winter wheat on his entire acreage, and S. H. North, nearby, 

 from two and a half measured acres threshed 59 bushels per acre. G. F. Latham's 

 spring wheat, just west of town, yielded better than 25 bushels, and Theo Olson's, four 

 miles southwest, went about ."'.O. Receipts at the elevators are just beginning to 

 come in.
