Harvest Prospects Shift As Drought-Era Weather Ends
After two months of extreme heat and drought, harvesting in the district near the city turns promising. J. G. McGee estimates east of the city yields from five to fifteen bushels per acre, with his own land around two bushels per acre and kernels shrunken. D W Hays of the Canada Land and Irrigation Company says irrigated areas yield very well, filling kernels to the tip. areas relying on rainfall show spotty results, averaging 20 to 25 bushels per acre where waters arrived late. Only 10 to 15 percent of farmers applied for water late, avoiding broader drought losses.
