Harvesting the 1913 Wheat Crop
The biéation reports larger yields than first counted with Umatita county fields averaging 45 to 50 bushels per acre and some districts near Athana and Northwest Athana reaching 46 bushels. White Hybrid wheat shows strong performance against winter cold while Red Chaff damaged stands reduced yields. Bulk handling from combines to wagons grows popular with Dudley Fields using a large Oregon machine. Smut appears across counties, with early sowing and weather cited as causes. Harvest progresses countywide and yields exceed prior expectations though some districts see lower results.
