BONFIRES TO SAVE

Western Farmers Fear Cold Viii
Ruin Corn.

are building great bonfres in the hope

from the frost. Not more than one
fourth of the entire Western crop will
mature. and the heavy frosts predicted
for tonight and tomorrow assure an al
most total failure.
Snow in the north and west of the corn
belt is almost certain to bring a series
OF frosts. The great fall OF rain during
the last week. the greatest in the his
tory OF the country, further contributes
not only to the loss of corn. but t will
damage small grain. that has not been
put under cover. fully three-fourths.
There are thousands OF acres OF lax
and late wheat yet uncut. Some OF the
fax is still green.
