sixth day of almost continuous cold rains.
The work of gathering the wheat crop is
brought to complete standstill. Wheat
ip stacks has been rGined. and estimates
place the loss in Kansas alone at 81 600, :
UU0, besides the damaee 10 the grain yet

little injury, but is backward twenty
days as compafed with the latest season
for twenty years. The State Board S
last estimate of 100000 bushels of
wheat was based on alleged Improvement

pected to partially offset disasters In the
great wheat belt of the center. This es-
innate took no account of the week s
storm, and the immense damage to stacked
wheat in the more favorable locality.
Further west there is no wheat to be in

are nov entertained that potatoes will
