much correspondence and careful
searching that it was finally located
in Fort Dodge. But the delay in lay

in this locality, which was largely con-
fined to small grain. There was con-
siderable wind and this. with the hail
and the heavy rain, caused oats that

many places they are so heavy and
such big heads that they can not
straighten. Corn went down some. but
that will come back all right enough.
Farmers in this vicinity are confidently
figuring on an oat yield of at least
fifty bushels to the acre, notwithstand-

their fields will yield seventy bushels
