Waiting for the Threshing Crew. 



Bozeman Correspondence in Butte Miner — A yield of winter wheat so phenomenal 

 that it invites incredulity is reported by E. W. Radford, who is in charge of a thresh- 

 ing machine and outfit west of Manhattan. The average per acre yield will exceed 

 81 bushels. This is in a field of 32 acres of Turkey Red wheat raised by Richard 

 Quint, which has been threshed with the exception of a little over one acre and the 

 machine is now idle because of the rain. The total yield from the field as far as 

 they have gone is enough to average 80 bushels per acre for the field and the rest 

 will increase the average. Mr. Radford is running the J. W. Freeman threshing 

 outfit of Bozeman and threshed out recently 135 acres for G. S. Black near Man- 

 hattan, which averages well above 40 bushels an acre, a part of which went 57 

 bushels. 



Bozeman Courier — From a field of five and a half acres on the College View 

 farm of Harry L. Summers, John W. Chaney has harvested over 1,500 bushels of fine 

 potatoes of gigantic average size, and when the crop is weighed it is confident that 

 the average will be above 300 bushels to the acre. This is the second year of big 

 potato crops on this farm, and although the yield may be no larger than on many 

 other Gallatin valley farms, the excellence of the product and its proximity to Boze- 

 man make it notable. 



GRANITE COUNTY. 



Granite County News — The Brazil threshing outfit, finished threshing the Col. 

 Morse piece of grain, adjoining town on the east, Sunday. From the 20 acres, 800 

 bushels of wheat were threshed. Mr. Morse stored the grain with the expectation of 

 receiving higher prices. This is one of the best yields of Marquis wheat threshed from 

 dry land in this section.
