WhiIe out over the prairie Sunday we

weather of the past couple weeks has
done little, if any, damage as yet and
unless it turns much warmer and the
north winds start blowing it is thought
the grain will mature this season with
out being damaged any. At present
quite few fields of fall grain are almost
ready for the binder and at the rate the
grain is ripening many fields of barley
and fall wheat will be ready to cut be-
fore the hay crop is cared for. The
average yield this year will be a heavy
one if nothing unforeseen happens and
with the good prices certain to be paid
many of the farmers will be placed on
