Cidedly cooler. In fact overcOats
and panamas are quite a common
thing now. Monday, 1t began and
has been quite threatening since and
showers seem to be as easy to begin
as they seemed resistful before. In
fact rubbers and rain coats are be-
ginning to move on the markets.

guine. Some people predict that 1t
will help late sowed crops and every
body is as busy as can be getting in
fall wheat A good many of those
who have had seed wheat TO offer
have tested the grain and find almost
a hundred per cent of 1t fertile. The
ground is In fine shape now for plant
ing since much of it was corn or feed
ground which failed to make crop
and was listed ready for the soaker
which came-as many said it would.
People who advocate praying for
rain may have been responsible and
any way 1t is here. Every one is
planning for a big acreage OF wheat
and people are starting out with re-
newed energy and anticipation Of
good crops next year.
