MAKING WHEAT REPORTS McHenry County Produced 860,446 Bushels This Year la [Harvard Herald] McHenry county farmers produced a, total of 360,446 bushels of wheat this year, according to estimates made by A. J. Gafke, county agricultural .wVn Unc* 4- aKul fllO fttlini*+Q of one-half the reports made by men Who operated threshing machines in the county the past grain threshing season. "From forty-five of the threshing Crews reports we have a total of 180,- 223 bushels of wheat grown in Mc­ Henry county this year and the forty- five represents a trifle less than half the number of machines operated the past season," Mr. Gafke said to a Herald reporter, who found him busy in going over tabulated figures with Miss Emma Charles, the competent aid in his office at toe cwurt house last Friday. All who operate a threshing ma­ chine are required to make a report of the number of bushels ,of grain threshed, the reports to be made to the county food administrator in each county. In McHenry county this post of responsibility is held by W. S. Mc: donnell, county treasurer-elect, who is anxious that every grain thresher in the county comply with the federal law and thus avoid the penalty the government will impose for failure to do so. While the total of more than 860,000 boshels of wheat grown in McHenry county this year beats all previous records for wheat production for a single year, it is the prediction of Mr. Gafke that next year will witness a production easily double that of this year. "The acreage of wheat next year in McSenry county will double the acre­ age of the present yaar and- with » favorable suaswi, jH» greatest wheat crop ever kntfim in tJbe qponty will he iti>e rwolt," Hr.G&m mr*. i J i ' ' : ; v r.-v n. s 1 ^ ^ A ' ^ ^ l * ' ooly l»e remedied when stop the leaks and to W iKroved tharmich of̂ lOM oni v ̂ ; «p"j(6iS|»oflossinretailstores, doeto preventable causes, Mist̂ ct on 'Invoices.

St. Mary's school children are dis­ tributing beautiful colored pictures representing Gen. Pershing, the great American general leading our boys ia France. This is a very timely pier tare that should find a place just no* in every patriotic home.
