from Pendleton Second Team
Sending Out Export Flour.

Athena, June 11.-As a result OF
cold, backward weather, a red rust
has invaded the wheat fields of this
section. SO far no fears beyond a
slight decrease in yield is predicted.
The fields which have been invaded
by rust is confined to those where
the grain is heavy and of exception
ally rank growth.
In fields where the grain is thin
the rust is of little consequence. Up
to the present only the blades on the
plant has been affected, the stock
yet remains unchanged and it is
thought that the present warm wealth
er will serve to check any further
damage to crop prospects.
