Wheat Is heading in all parts of the state,

The straw is generally short except in the
Rea river valley, where the growth has been
rank. Rust has not appeared to any extent,
yet, although few reports of 1t come from
widely scattered places. Grasshoppers have

this office show, and they ara now reported
to have left the localities where they were

done more damage to the crop this year than

they have done the most damage.
