In estimating the splendid har vest of oats in the county by town ships, Moss township, judging from numerous reports that have come to us, is the banner township in the county. Mr. C. M. Williams told the Advertiser's representative Mon day that he has never t een finer oats grown than some that were har vested by some of his neighbors this year. Not only were the oats very heavy on small fertile spots but the large fields averaged well. Mr. Ward Corley had 147 bushels of oats threshed from two acres. In reply to the question as to how the season had been for the thresher which has been operated jointly this season bv his son and Mr. W. T. Reel, Mr. Williams said that over practically the same territory in which 1,800 bushels of oats were threshed last year they threshed over 13,000 bushels this year. That gives some idea of the large relative yield over the county. Y. W. A. Meeting. The Y. W. A. will meet Monday afternoon, August 4, at 5:30 o'clock with Miss Ruth Tompkins. Subject-Africa.
