NELSON COUNTY. -.
Michigan, July 81, 1909.-The
statement which appeared this week
to the effect that the crops in Nell
son county were suffering from RUST
to the extent of a rs per cent loss is
absolutely false in every particular.
AS in other years and every local
ity scattered indications Of rust are
to be found, but it has gained no
Roadway and is of such insignifi-
canoe as to be of no danger or det-
riment to the crop, which will be
the heaviest yield in years. The
prospects in this county are splendid
and no grounds are available for
slanderous reports to the contrary.
Several showers this week and warm
succeeding days have provided ex-
cel;ent filling weather. Cutting of
rye and barley is now general.
