Klevator are not "bunttlng at the Kearns" a had been pre dicted In the spring. The onset of hot, dry weather hi principal ly blamed for shriveling and the light production. Some rancher reported fair ly good yield, hut many were far below expectations. It 1 still too early to determine a county average, but MeCurdy hazarded a guess that It might run about 21 bushels per acre on wheat. About the only generally happy thought for the harvest er Is that the cutting has not been Interrupted by rain this year. They would have been happy to have a rain as late as June but were glud that It didn't come late to humper the harvest.
