tion, and fi prices of threshing
lh.it would pay a decent interest
nil the big investment essential to
successful threshing.
This is going to lie the heaviest
threshing season the count v has
had in its history, and there are
many things to be considered.
The straw to he handled is going
to average 25 per cent, heavier
than usual, mid this is an cle
ment not to be taken lightly.
The schedule of prices adopted
were Valley points hay hal
ing, !:.. 50 per ton; oats, i cents;
w heat, Ii cent s.
Hill land prices, oats,-5 rents;
wheat, 7 cents; set jobs, 11 to
Tfi't, according to conditions.
This schedule is no higher than
last year so far as oats is con
cerned, the price for wheat being
about '.'(J per cent, higher. Hal
ing price is increased about 10
per centum.
