Wheat Harvest Gains in Fountain and Warren Counties
Wheat harvest is in full swing in Fountain and Warren counties with high yields and wide acreage. Dry weather has ripened grain evenly, allowing farmers to cut and shock fields without rain delays. Oats are poor, few fields will be cut with a binder. Corn looks good due to improved farming methods learned from agricultural scientists. The topsoil is kept clean and finely pulverized to form a moisture retaining dust mulch. Stucker land near Newcastle shows the finest corn, waist high and well colored.
