to winter wheat by freezing are being received
from sections where wheat is not protected by
snow, but there is no cause for any apprehen-
sion as vet. The condition OF the crop In gem

Ing wheat steadily when country roads permit
hauling, but the movement to market is curtailed
by lack of transportation.
