Reports for Wright county are to the effect
that the late favorable weather has enabled
farmers to thresh most of the wheat in shock,
ana II does not prove to be as badly damaged
py the lste rains as had been supposed.
In portions of the State complaint is made
OF the "canker worm,'' which is making
serious depredations on the trees; among
them the plum, apple, oak, elm and bass
wood are suffering, the trees being despoiled
Of their foliage. -. 1900. J.. = 20

Many blame the farmers for reckless diIa.
torlness in securing their wheat in stacks.
The truth is, many farmers had not teams
and men enough to put the shocks in stacks
before the rains came. Self binders work 80
rapidly that often help is not always ade-
quate to secure the grain in stacks. .--s y .
Reports are to the effect that the damage
to the wheat in shocks and stacks BY the late
rains will be very considerable, much greater
than was at first anticipated. Stacks have
to be taken down and the bundles scattered
to dry. In some instances the wheat has
grown. The grade will be lowered and the
price, OF course, correspondlngly. &.

this county, (Dakota), for l880.is.a trife over.
