the work is being cleaned up rapid-

handled easily, the product of one
,nundred acres in some cases being put
through in a. slay. •
A report comes from Emerson that
one machine working in thait local-
ity, threshed 2,800 bushels in a. day,
and a thresher in the Carman dis-
trict reports 3,000 as a. day's re-
cord for his machine.
The yield is heavier 'than estimat-
ed. A gentleman 'writing to a Wei -

though the wheat crops in the In-
dian Head district in 1901-2 were
considered "bumpers," the yield this
sason will be fully 10 per cent
