bushels, or 74.4 bushels to the acre. It is the biggest yield ever heard of in Park 

 county. The wheat was Turkey Red. 



Wilsall Correspondence in Butte Miner — First returns from the harvest fields in- 

 dicate that the Shields river valley wheat this year will grade unusually high, with 

 a normal yield per acre. Threshing operations began the first of this week and as yet 

 not enough returns are available to justify estimates that are correct. However, all 

 indications point to an average yield of high quality, with the exception of the foot- 

 hills, where it is believed the grain has been slightly frost-bitten, but the yield will be 

 unusually heavy. Returns to date are as follows: Merrill Henry, seven miles north 

 of Wilsall, 60 acres; yield, 40 bushels per acre; weight, 63 pounds per bushel. Harold 

 Johnson, one mile north of Wilsall, 45 acres; yield, 35 bushels per acre; weight, 62% 

 pounds per bushel.

 field gave only fair returns and cut the average of the whole considerably.
