Yields Real Good Yields, are real good, Nelson Weaver reported, with an aver age of 35 to 40 bushels per acre, some better. Ross H. Rohrer & Son m Quarryville are finding moisture still heavy in 1956 wheat, test i weights not as good as last year “We are still receiving wheat combined before the rams, and it has been weighing 56 to 60 lbs per bushel, more in the 57 to 58-pound class,” it was added On the farm $1 98 is be ing paid, delivered to the eleva tor, $2 02, compared to $1.85 to $1.90 last year. Many kernels are puffed, Car gill Inc, reports, indicating moisture is at work, lowering quality. According to Harry S. Sloat, associate Lancaster County agri cultural agent, “It would be good to see a little sunshine. There has been some deteriora tion in small grains which can clear up with a little more sunshine There is some sprout ing and molding, in fact the situation is getting a little criti cal.” More showers are likely, but what’s needed most is a few days of drying out that will allow grains to dry more, and permit combining equipment to move back into Garden Spot wheat fields. » M \ 24-Hour Service g 1956 AUTO TAGS EDWARD G.
