Harvest is here; everybody is busy

The harvest season is coming on somewhat early this year, especially the winter wheat. By next Monday harvest will be on in full swing in the sections east and south of town. A good many of the outfits are starting to work this week, but only a few combines have started. We understand that southeast of Douglas, some fields are reported yielding 30 bushels to the acre. Winter wheat fields are going to vary in yield from 20 to 40 bushels to the acre.

There are some very encouraging reports about the way spring wheat is coming along. It is standing the dry weather much better than expected, and while the yield will not be as heavy in most instances as the winter varieties, it will probably be a better grade.

Some labor troubles

Harvest hands are coming in on every stage, and help, it seems, is very plentiful. County agent F.H. Zentner has opened an employment office at the stage depot. The wage scale adopted by the farmers last week was posted in the office, and on Monday someone changed it so it read 50 cents per day higher than the one posted and this caused a little trouble, but Zentner soon straightened it out so the correct figures were shown.

We understand our city marshal took one gentleman to the corporate limits and told him to “beat it.” He was acting in the capacity of a walking delegate and trying to cause trouble. Most of the men seem anxious to work and are ready to “fly at it.”

95c and $1 for new wheat

Local wheat buyers yesterday were offering 95c for Turkey Red and $1 for Blue Stem, August delivery. They were paying $1.04 for old wheat.
