Sprouting in the Stack.

Soaked with water, the heavy heads
of the ripened wheat and other grains
have broken the straw until many
large fields are lodged" so badly as
to make 1t almost impossible for the
reaper to handle the crop.
Grain that was cut and shocked be-
fore the rains began is sprouting in
the stack, the farmers say, and the
injury from this source will amount
to thousands Of dollars. Owing to lack
OF facilities for housing the un-
thrashed grain. and because Of the
muddtness Of the fields, it has also been
impossible to haul the grain, and like
wise impossible to Pile it in big stacks
that might be covered with tarpaulins
FOR protection from the rain.
The result. farmers say. has been that
daily rains. soaking the shocks, and the
continued hot weather have acted to-
gether to cause the grain to sprout or to
mold In the stacks. SO that many fields
that when cut promised to thrash good
crops will yield hardly any grain Of any
value. Even the straw, the farmers de-
clare, has nodded until 1t will be worth
little, IL ANYTHING

WHEAT CROP SUFFERS
BECAUSE OF THE RAIN
Too Wet for Thrashing, Grain Is
Molding and Sprouting
in Stacks.

Farmers in this section whose wheat
Is cut and shocked are anxious for q
cessation Of the daily rains that have
fallen for the past week. While corn,
potatoes and garden truck have been
seriously in need of moisture, they say.
the rain came at an inopportune time,
and while Of tremendous benefit to
growing crops of all kinds. Is seriously
damaging the harvested grain, as well
as that still standing in the fields.
Harvesting has been delayed because
OF the rain. and the ripe grain. ready
for the reaper, has been injured in
some sections SO that the crop will be
fully rs per cent less than would have
been the case had the rains arrived a
week earlier or delayed until a week
later.
