Throughout .Aie county wheat has pre-
ma,tageiy ripened in consequence of the
great heat. The top of each head is very
imperfectly filled out, one-third of grain
in the head being shriyeled and of very
inferior quality. Reports from other
states show that the crops have quite
generally suffered from the inopportune
beat. Minnesota which is pree minently
a wheat producing state, seems to have
suffered ..aoat. Wheat is said to look
good standing, but when closely examin-
