~Sisseton-The prolonged wet weather
did some damage TO grain in the shock,
some of 1t having sprouted TO a con-
siderable extent. That which was
stacked is all right, as none OF the
dOwnpOurs were accompanied by driv-
ing winds, but there was only a small
percentage of the grain in stack. The
wet weather proved n serious draw
back to ~threshing and stacking, but
man of the farmers improved the OPP
portunity to commence their fall plow-
ing and a great many black streaks
have been drawn across the fields dur
ing the past week. The ground is in
excellent condition for blowing.
