sept. Is was the day of the average

crop unchanged.
Last year there were 100000 acres

only 152-and this year $4,000 acres
were planted to corn. Botttneau coun-
ty, along the Canadian border, alone
has $4,000 acres.
Estimating that $4,000 acres were
damaged by frost, which l believe is
placing the loss too high, we still have
a larger acreage than last year. 1t
is hard to tell just what the damage
has been, but all reports coming into
this Office show that the crop has
only been hurt in spots"
