Wheat, Corn And Peach Prospects

George A. Peters, of Soio, while in the city Monday, in speaking of erop prosjjects, said he had on July 1 reported that in his opinión the average yield of wheat would be in Washtenaw eemnty ! only seven bushels to the acre. But j since the threshers had begun working he found that wheat was turning out better than expected and he now thought the average yield would reach ten bushels to the acre. The corn was all right yet and the recent rains had done it much good. With a few more rains corn would be excellent. Dexter village and Webster had a good soaking rain some time ago, which did not reach into Scio or come to Ann Arbor. One farmer in Webster reported the water standing several inches deep in his corn ñeld the morning after the rain. The rains of last week did much good. Curiously enough, however, there was one large farm in Scio whioh these rains went all around, leaving it dry. William H. Morton, the fruit grower, made his flrst shipment of peaches to Detroit Monday - the first shipment from this station. Dr. Nichols shipped peaches Tuesday. Mr. Morton reports the üeach trees as overloaded. He says he will have to go through his orchard and piek off a number of the peaches to keep them f rom breaking down his trees. He thinks that the peach erop is large throughout the country but that the prices will be kept up, as the smal] fruit erop was so poor that the people have not filled up their fruit cans and there will be big demand for peaches.
