steal or murder. Still worse, they
will not permit honest laborers, to
whom $3.50 per day looks good, to

from it by threats Of beatings or even

there is less rust in the hills
than the fat around Milbank and
Wilmot or to the west Of US.
Just how much the grain will be
damaged will not be known until
threshing. Oats and barley are
in better shape than wheat and
there will be lite loss in those
grains.
Just what the past week will
do to grain is a question. Some
claim the rain will help it to fill
better while others say it will
help the rust. On most of the
farms the small grain crop is
practically made and weather
conditions will not affect it ma
terially providing we do not have
high winds. The prospect is
that Notwithstanding the rust
the crop will be the largest
which has been raised ia some
