WHEAT HARVEST.

Some farmers commenced cutting
wheat yesterday, the most will be at it
in day or two. It is seldom that the
conditions are so reversed as is the case
this year. The first of May it looked
as if the wheat crop would be phenom-
enally large, and the prospect in ad-
vancing prices was a further encour-
agement to the grower.
The last ten days or two weeks has
brought a decided reverse in both these
particulars. The wheat crop of this
vicinity has a decidedly "black eye, "
as the last week has developed, in de-
truction of the fly, but what is more
general -blighted heads-frOm what is
called "scab.
This was result of the long rainy
spell in May, at which time the wheat
headed out, the wet weather prevent
ING the pollen from fertilizing the gram.
It looked in the spring as II a hne
Weld was to be the result, fifteen,
twenty and in some cases thirty bush
els per acre, but the last week has de-
monstrated the unpleasant fact that a
half crop will not he realized. In fact
an observant farmer tells us that he
does not think the general average will
be over seven bushels per acre. 1t is
hoped however that the threshing ma
chine will show a better result than
this. The drop in price since the
Letter failure has been alike discour-
aging, suggesting to the farmers the
prices of the past several years, but
there is every assurance of better prices
than prevailed two and three years
ago.
