START TO HARVEST WHEAT AT NEPHI A number of farmers of the Levan ridge commenced Tuesday to harvest their dry land wheat crop. It is estimated es-timated that on the fifteen thousand acres under cultivation this year, that there will be approximately three hundred hun-dred and thirty thousand bushels of wheat grown, or approximately 22 bushels bu-shels to the acre. It is also reported that there are approximately ninety combined harvesters now in use in this valley, in addition to a ' number of headers, and some binders, which are taking care of this year's harvest. Pracitcally all of the wheat crop from the Levan ridge will be sold in the near future, as there' are not enough storage bins in the valley to take care of this amount of wheat. While the price of wheat at the pres-. ent time is lower than was expected : by the farmers, a number of them will have to sell their crop, on account of not having the necessary storage facilities, and others will sell to meet their current obligations Nephi Times-News
