The recent storms have almost completed

it can be harvested with machines. The
yield cannot exceed onc-half crop and
will be ofan inferior quality.
A Mortified special says: Harvest is
we'll under way i'll this section. Nearly all
the oats have to be cut one way on ac-
count of being lodged but the wheat in
most places is as straight rs ever. Both
wheat and oats are we'll filled and the lndi-
cations are that they will give a heavy
yield.
