The fair t»oard will appreci ate it so much that it will give him a plaque in addition to the cash prize. Some of these g«xMl h arvest days the combines of Sherm an county are tu rn in g o u t a half m il lion bushels of wheat a «lay. Most of those are good bushels, filled w ith plum p ripe berries, about the best grown anyw here. F a n n ing the few small kernels out of it and picking out the cracked ones isn’t much of a Job.
