Dat Crop In Anoka County.

The oat crop in Anoka county will be
almost total failure, some of it not
being worth cutting at all and most of
the rest being only fit to be mown down
as hay. The failure is due mostly to
the cold and wet spring which was fol-
lowed by a severe drought. Besides
some sort of a parasite has infested the
grain, SO that even what little there
was of it has been ruined. The same
condition is reported from adjacent
counties, especially Hennepin. -Anoka
