HARvEsTERs BUSY AGAIN
Binders Were Out Yesterday and
Stacking Was Resumed To-day

The wheat harvest has been re-
sumed in Dickinson county. Yester-
day afternoon the binders started
work again in the few fields that
are uncut and today many farmers
are at work stacking. Threshing Will
not be begun for day or two be-
cause the wheat in shock is still
damp.
On the average the rains did not
cause any great amount of damage,
thought the quality of the wheat was
undoubtedly lowered. Some OF the
stacks have begun to turn, showing
that the rains have caused injury
and that the wheat will not be of as
good quality as it would have been
had the harvest been completed
without more moisture. Suns like
those of yesterday and today will
dry out the shocked wheat and al
low the threshers to start their en-
gines.
Although Dickinson county has
had plenty of rain and the corn Is
high and tasseling, Clay county
needs rain badly. The corn fields
show the lack of moisture.
