J. G. Eckert had a singular experience with wheat the first season after his arrival. He prepared the ground, as he was accustomed to do in the old country, although Jeff. Rainey expostulated with him, foretelling the result, which was a very rank growth to straw, so rank that the wheat fell of its own weight. It only took a man five weeks using a sickle, to cut twelve acres of it.
