county's 1923 wheut crop will reach
11,0011,0011 liuxhclu, eclipsing nil county
records since 190ti. In tho opinion of
Henry V. Collins, tocul grain man.
Mr. Collins, In making tho esliniate.
atates that it is safe to say Hint thery
are 200,000 acres In crop this year.
Or this, he believes, half will nverafw
S5 bushels lo the acre, with consider
able 45 bushel wheat, while tho re
maining 100,000 'arces will average 20
bushels or better to the acre. ,
The wheat, ho adds, has outgrown ; the
the weeds, which were rf.itienuco.eur- reaches
Her in Iho season, and crop prospects
are excellent. The Brain Is ripenirnr
in just the right way, Mr. Collins has
observed. Tho ripening process lias
begun nv the bottom and tho grain is
maturing evenly.' 9
Harvest will begin In the west end
of tho county nextl week, according to
reports received by Mr. Collins. In
the heavier lands, it will be delayed
and in sections where there Is down
grain tho harvest will bo put off for a
time.
In addition to tho big wheat crop,
the barley crop Is large, Collins states.
Comparing conditions to those last
year. -ho says that this county began
importing ncAv barley in Juno and
continued until the middle of July.
This year, he estimates there will be
enough barley to supply the needs.
