WHEAT HARVEST IN
A CRITICAL STATE
The Frequent Rains Have
Done Much to Injure the
Chances of Farmers.
ARE THRESHING TOO SOON.
ING ON TO THE MARKET DAMP
AND is NOT BRINGING A GOOD
PRICE.

| The situation governing the wheat
harvest in Wayne county is critical al
the present time. and unless the rains
cease and the farmers have a period OF
wheat and oats threshed, thousands OF
bushels will be lost. The threshing
season is now much delayed, and it is
said on all sides that as late harvest
has never before been known in the
history of the county.
The cutting of wheat vas delayed on
account of the rains. it being impossi-
BILE for the farmers to gain access to
their fields, driving heavy harvesting
machinery through the mud. Wheat
in this county was dead ripe, but its
harvest was delayed owing to the fire.
quent and heavy rains.
As the rains hindered the harvesting
of the grains, the rains are now him
dering threshing. The grain can be
threshed. but it stands a ten to one
shot that it will be refused on the local
and other markets in Wayne county,
due to the fact that it is damp and of
inferior quality.
Ranked as No. 8 Class.
Charles Carpenter, of the Richmond
Roller Mills, stated that already many
loads of wheat had arrived in Rich
mond. and at his mills. but owing to
the fact that is of inferior quality, it
was thrown in the number three
class, which is the worst, and refused

manufacture of flour. The purchaser
of the grain in its present condition
also stands the chances of a heavy loss
as it will invariably mould. The
farmers are threshing too early, accord
ing to Mr.. Carpenters opinion, as they
are not giving the wheat in the shock
chance to thoroughly dry before they
haul it to the machine The farmers
who have already threshed their grain
are now in hot water, figureatively
speaking, as they are having their
grain refused on the markets and there

of it had to do SO at reduced figure.
not getting what they expected.
Does Not Weigh Out.
1t has been established also that the
grain this year is of inferior quality
and does not weigh out as it did last
year. The grains are smaller and
with all their dampness will not weigh
out as heavy as the large solid grains
of last year. Ten days of warm dry
weather are all that will save the farm
ers hundreds of dollars on their wheat
crop, is the opinion that has been ex-
pressed among the local millers and
elevator men.
Last year it was an unusual fact that
the new wheat brought onto the Rich
mond market, was in such condition
that it could Immediately be ground in
to flour. The millers of Richmond
have no such hope this year
Notwithstanding the warning against
wet wheat, that has been issued by the |
millers of the county. several farmers /
are threshing at present.
