BOONE COUNTY CROPS ARE GOOD
Outs Average 40 Bushels to Acre
Usual Yield 25 Bushels.
Crop conditions in Boone County
are good, according to W. T. Ander
son of the Boone County Milling Co.
Oats produced en an avcraga forty
bushels an acre as compared to
twenty-five for other years. R. C.
Portwood of north of town raised seventy-five
bushels an acre.
Ten per cent more land Is in corn
this year than usual, and the yield
will be about forty bushels to the
acre, while from thirty to thirty-five
is the average crop. Eighty-five per
cent of the corn is out of danger of
frost; only the corn on the overflow
land, which was planted late, can be
damaged by frost, and within two
weeks it will be safe.
Much corn is being cut so that the
land may be sown in wheat. Because
of the drouth last spring wheat in
this county produced only fourteen
bushels an acre, but the prospects
for a heavy yield next year are favor
able. More wheat is being sown this
year than ever; a great deal of corn
ground will be put in wheat.
