b-earishness as too unanimous, export

that the last figure will prevail.
There is absolutely no danger now
from the black rust. The season is
too far advanced for that. and then,
too, as ! said before. there is such a
small showing of the black rust as
to be almost imperceptible. No. there
is no danger from that, not a bit.
From all sections Of the state the
same reports come. The scare over
the black rust has simply died with
its own weight. The general report
that ome in from inquiries from the
farmers who are in the city from
every quarter of the state is thai there
is now no danger from the black rust.
During the latter part of the week

thought to contain black rust were

The only thing that can in any

isn't a thing a hurt the great crops
of the state now excepting frost or
