Forty veterans and their families
are settled in a housing project at

New Equipment To
Boost Wheat Y eld
E. F. Schmidt, local farm equip
ment dealer predicted today that ex
isting acreages sown to wheat in the
future may yield 30 million bushels
more at present. He bases his pre
diction on a report received from
Harry Hutt, a wheat farmer of
Yuma, Colorado. Mr. Hutt’s letter
said in part:
“I have made arrangements to
have Mr. John Hueske of Otis, Colo
rado, combine the opening swath
around all of my wheat with his
Massey-Harris Self-Propelled Har
vest Brigade combine. I expect to
have 75 miles of combining for Mr.
Hueske in this opening run. Mr.
Hueske’s Self-Propelled combine cuts
a 14 ft. swath, so this run will fig
ure at 127 acres in all.
I am very happy to pay Mr.
Hueske double the customary price
which will be paid for combining in
this vicinity this season. My 16 ft.
conventional type combine with the
tractor hooked to the front of it,
where all the wheels pass over the
grain in the opening swath and
which I have been using in the past
several years cost me 50% of the
first swath around the field. Mr.
Hueske’s Self-Propelled combine saves
all of the first swath around the
field, as none of the wheels pass
over the crop. I expect my wheat
to make at least 50 bushels per acre,

so by having Mr. Hueske combine
the opening swath, the saving will
be one-half, or 25 bushels per acre.
If this run, when completed figures
out 127 acres, the saving will be
3175 bushels. I expect to sell my
wheat for $1.35 per bushel, so the
saving will be $4,286.25 by having
a Self-Propelled combine open these
