One Of Best Crops In Years Now Being Harvested This distMct is at the peak of hai-vesting one of the best crops in years. The oats are an especially good crop and a heavy yield of first class ^ain is expected. Some extra good yields of hay are reported, de- pite the fact that dry weather in May and June was expected to make the stands thin. One farmer told us the other day that he had 16 loads from one five-acre field and 25 loads from an 8-acre field. Yields of this size are exceptionally good. Saturday nig'ht another Artemesia farmer told the editor that he had 70 acres of grain cut and they are busy taking the "rain into the barn. He belieres that it is cheaper to grrow the grain than to buy it, and apparently the reverse been the case with many feeders in the district. Many have seeded their land for a hay crop.
