!'BRIS IS ONE OF MANY BIG STOR IES OF GOOD CROPS FROM THIS STATE. Aberdeen, S. D.—With the excep tion of the first tier of counties east of the Missouri river, and a portion of the second tier, reports of yields from the threshing machines are all exceedingly optimistic, and indicate that the estimates of a big crop, made at or prior to harvest, were not ex aggerated. A. P. Bryant of near An- Mover, in Day County, reports a yield of 25 bushels of No. 1 northern wheat to the acre, and it weighed 61 ounes to the bushel. In Clark county, William Berkley threshed 1,000 bushels of oats from twenty acres, and F. H. Cochrane re ports an average of forty bushels of barley to the acre. The estimate for that county is: oats 40 bushels or better; barley, from 30 to 35; and wheat, 13 to 14. In Grant county Henry Dotson threshed 857 bushels of barley from seventeen acres, or over fifty bushels to the acre. J. Keller cut a field of oats that averaged over sixty-eight bushels to the acre. William Gaynor threshed 1,110 bushels of barley from a thirty acre field, or thirty sev en bushels to the acre. One field of velvet chaff wheat on the Gaynor farm ran over twenty-three bushels to the acre, and weighed 61 pounds. He has one field that will average higher than that, but thinks his ‘whole wheat crop will run 23 bushels ‘to the acre. John Hermans threshed in field of barley that went fifty bu shels to the acre. C. W. Martens got 28 bushels of rye per acre, and John Hauer 26 bushels of macaroni. Blue Stem at 25 Bushels. Q. A. Kreiger, formerly of Lang ford, S. D., who now owns a section ‘arm near Havana, N. D., cropped 500 acres of land this year, and his blue stem, velvet chaff and macaroni wheats will all average over 25 bu shels to the acre, while he expects to get between 3,000 and 4,000 bush els of potatoes from fifteen acres he has in that crop. His millet, speltz and barley, are all good. A. M. Englund of Day county thre ished 4,100 bushels of barley from 100 acres. A. W. Soladay of Fulton threshed an average of twenty bushels of wheat, fifty bushels of oats and thirty-five bushels of barley. In the vicinity of Chelsea, the es timates are for about half a crop, but fifteen or twenty miles east of that town, the crop is said to be phenom enally heavy. Banner Yield of Barley. H. Washank of near Verdon has treshed 100 acres of which which ran a little better than 20 bushels to the acre. Average yields reported in the vi cinity of Plankinton are: Oats, 45 to 50 bushels; wheat, 14 to 15 bushels; and barley 25 bushels. The banner yield of barley report ed in the state so far is from the George Black farm north of DeSiet, Kingsbury county, where twenty acres are reported to have averaged seventy-seven bushels of the barley to the acre. In the vicinity of Alexandria, yields average from 15 to 22 for wheat; ‘40 to 45 for oats.
