Wheat Loss 60 Percent in Sherman County Says Growth Troubles
W W Martin of San Francisco, part of a landholding family along a 350 mile wheat strip, reports to the Cremon Daily Journal that Sherman County suffered about 60 percent crop loss. He cites 50 percent destroyed by March cold, plus hot weather this month wiping out remainders and about 10 percent of survivors. Farmers discouraged, some plan to move ports. He suggests switching to turkey red and forty fold, noting forty fold's hardness and yields 20 to 30 bushels per acre but wind shattering remains a drawback.
