To the ndltor of The lice : Harvest lasted five weeks In Ked Willow county , and some machines ran day and night , from Monday morning until Sat urday night , only stopping long enough to change teams. The whistle of the steam thrashers or * heard long before sunrise , calling the men to work. They have been nt It five weeks and It looks as If mow would lly before they got through. I'rom what has bien thi ashed It is estimated that 2,000,000 bushels were raised In this county this flca-on and the land U not half under cultivation yit Some faimcrs have 1,000 to C.OOO bushels. There are thousands of acres ? where the crop this year on one acre will pay for thiec acrca of nice , rich land. One flno quarter , all under plow , lay Idle this year. Had It been sown to wheat the crop would have paid for the land , built a house worth ? COO , a barn worth $ -100 , sunk a well and i reeled a wlndmldll , paid for a team , harness and wagon , a stove , three cowfl and a dozen shoats A mm rente 1 none land lust fall. Seed wheat was furnished and he got half the crop. He wnvcd Illty-four acres , and his share brought tnone ) to pay for a nice elghty-atres and had $100 left. Where seed Is not furnished the icntci gets two-thirds of the crop. There are a good many fields where the tenter's share of 100 acres will more than pay for IGf ) acres of nice land.
