Barring extremely poor weath- er conditions, it looks like an ex- cellent cereal grain situation with yields running upward from 60 bushels to the acre, hitting 70 in some good situations. Frest damage early in the year seems to have been overcome and things are looking good now. The "one' shot" western type combines that until recently were used on "ripe grain fields seem to have been phased out of the pic- ture locally .and windrow har= vesting is in evidence on all sides, in order- to compensate for un- even ripening conditions likely to be met in this area. • "Gleaner" type machines, con- structed to pick up ripened wind- rows of grain are now popular and have a limited grain capacity which enables them to continue working" a `field `while the grain • wagons head for the bin and re- turn to transfer another load.
