Fairfield.
The threshing machines have already
started in many sections of the county.
Reports which come from them are not
las satisfactory as usual and Indicate
that all kinds of small grain have been
very seriously injured by the contin-
uous wet weather. There is no rea-
lson for changing the estimate of last
week, that not over fifty per cent OF the
oats acreage of the county would re-
Imain uncut and it does not seem prob
able that that portion of the crop
(which was harvested will yield as Well
las many people thought it would. Grain
which was cut before the rains set In
has been badly damaged as a general
thing and is in much worse condition
than that of the later harvest. Several
lots of the earlier grain has been offer
led to buyers which was so poor that
they did not feel justified in putting a
lprice on it. Much of the rye is ShrlVel-
led as it comes from the machine and In
many instances the grain has sprouted
and has little value.
