Commissioner Herman Leutz was up
from Taylor on Tuesday. He said he
did not think the rain had materially
injured the grain. 1t had delayed the
farmers for about two weeks and he did
not think they would get started OF
shock threshing much before Wednes-
day noon. The weather continuing cool
after the rain had proved a great ad-
vantage to grain in shock, he said.
The damp weather doesn't seem to
lessen the ardor of the nimrods very
much for every day hunters are in the
field and every day the chickens are be-
coming less plentiful. This weather has
brought out more ducks than the early
hunter could find and good bags of these
birds have been captured around the N.
P. dam and along Heart river by the
early morning hunter.
There has not been much grain mar
keted here the past week on account of
the prolonged rainy and disagreeable
weather which has retarded threshing.
The roads were in a bad condition for
those who had grain ready to haul but
the weather was getting warm and
pleasant again the last of the week
and farmers will now be buster than
ever.
