Downey Starts Area
Wheat Harvest With
Good Load Sunday
The first load of wheat in the
Perkins area for the 1967 har-
vest season was unloaded at the
Ahrberg Mill, Sunday afternoon,
by Jack Downey.
Although only five loads were
weighed in at the local mill Sun-
day, approximately 7,335 bush-
els were unloaded during the
day and up into the evening
Monday.
The wheat has had around a
60 test with a 12.8 moisture con-
tent.
No wheat was allowed to un-
load Tuesday until around 3
p.m., because of too much mois-
ture, but the rest of the day
showed a slow, but steady st-
ream of trucks unloading.
According to Leo Jacks, man-
ager of the Ahrberg Mill in Per-
kins, the crop so far is yeilding
as high as 30 bushels an acre.
Jacks also reported that as of
Tuesday afternoon very little
wheat was being dumped at
Ahrberg's Mill at Stillwater and
none had been reported at their
mill in Cushing, mostly due to
the high moisture content.

A day traditionally known as Flag Day,
when we pay our respects to "Old Glory,"
comes on June 14.
t The first Flag Day remembrance took
place in 1877 when the government reques-
ted all public buildings to fly the national
flag in commemoration of its 100th anniver-
sary.
Since this time the day is dedicated to the
freedom that symbolizes America, a flag
that is to be respected by all Americans. It
denotes a positive act of pride, performed
by those who realize the importance of keep-
ing the red, white, and blue symbol of our
nation flying in the breeze.
We, as Americans, on this day should not
be lax in the manner in which we display our
flag or the way we behave when the flag is
in our presence. The vent fact that we are
free to decide how we want to honor the flag
should be the best reason to wave it.
Let all of us be proud of our flag and hon-
or it by displaying "Old Glory" on this day.
