Vernon Root, agriculture
chairman gave a very interes

son of 1927 and now. In 1927,
there were 148.000 bushels of
grain at 27 bu. to the acre; in
1978 - four million bu. at 32 bu.
average; in 1981 - seven and
one half million bu. with an
average 56 bu.; in 1920 horses
and mules numbered 9,000
now 400; in 1920 milk cows
numbered 1.200 with none to
count now; in 1920 - 17,000
sheep were counted and now
there are 650; in 1920 there
were 27,000 chickens and now
there are 150.000. These fig
ures are from Sherman Coun
ty statistics in 1982.
Also in the report, grangers
heard that Morrow County
wheat production was a bit
lower than last year on the dry
land acreage, but the wheat is
off to a good start this fall,
even with the cheat grass
problem. Potatoes had a large
sale but less yield due to
weather conditions. Corn yield
was down and beans were
about average. Gilliam Coun
ty wheat production was down
last year from the previous
year, and is also off to a good
start this fall. Sherman Coun
ty is about the same as last
year, but in Wheeler County
the cattle raising is having a
bit of trouble, due to price
instead of a feed problem.
