of these flnls tho damngo not 80 grcnt rs report

Corn looks very woll to this observer. Other cor

sections, md nsscrt TINT those damaged localE'

mostly IN the southern nnd cnstcrn phrt OF Min
nrsota and tho northern pnrts ct Iowa. |
That thcro nre rust md smut and bugs Nt work
on the wheat crop al aRree, but tho Judgment
of those most used to balancIug these differing
accounts 1s that as yot thoro has been no rt'ln

damage to reduce 1t below m average, for tho |
Increased acreage otIscts tho larger area OF loss.
Now tho most critical Days Of tho crop arc Mt

Tho crops are always ruined by r,1mnr at this |
timoof yonr but thore has never before bccn 10
embarrassing conflict OF reports. The railroads |
arc receiving uniformly favorable 1scws; tho |

Information. There is IN explanation Or this
discrepancy. Tho railroads got tholr nuwa from
station agents, who like to send in good reports.
