POOR STAND OF WHEAT

In this section of the county the
wheat crop prospects are not at all
encouraging. The grain has not
stooled well and in most of the fields
the stand is thin. Such good judges
as ]. NJ Reid and Mark Whitlow
agree that the present crop indica-
lions are poorer than for a number
of years and men who have travelled
over the county report similar condi-
lions in several other sections and
say that first class stands of wheat
are very rare.

to compete in wheat raising with the
more favored regions as regards mar
