South Side ranchers will not have as large a crop of wheat as Las e,-ncr- ally been looked for, according to the report. It is said that q great deal of the wheat is rusting and that the o-iy hope of getting anything at ali otit Of it is to cut it for hay. in several iH- stances this is now being done, md what gave promise of being a spIauii crop of grain is now making only an ordinary grade of hay. of course, t,1e profit to the rancher is considerably less in consequence It would seem that Tempe ranchers are now the or.Iy sufferers in this respect. It was n0ted on the Kelvin excursion that almost every field of wheat along the track on the Mesa was more or less afflicted, and in some cases the rust had reached such an advanced stage that the grain would scarcely make hay. Sucn a result was predicted by many wlIiie so much rain fell during the carly spring, and most of the farmers atc not surprised. It was unavoidable, for on some of the fields where no irrissa- tiOn has been done this spring the rust is as bad as in places where the grain was irrigated beside being v-c tered by the rain that fell.
