Wheat Crop Damaged

From the report received by
Commissioner Bryson OF the state
department OF agriculture, the
damage to growing wheat in the
state will range all the way from
total loss to 80 to rs per cent.
With very few exceptions all coun.
ties suffered damage, but the most
encouraging reports as to the con-
dition of the crop come from East
Tennessee. But it is evident that
no section Of Tennessee has been
exempt from the severe weather
of this winter.
