The prospects for wheat crop in
| this county this year are about as
poor as they have ever been. The
prolonged drouth which prevailed
from before seeding time last fall un-
til two weeks ago, either killed Il e
grains which did gerlninate or left
them in the ground without even
sprouJing them. However, there are
a few fields in all parts of the county
which are looking pretty good and
will make a fair yield with proper
conditions from now on. These fields
| were nearly all stubbled IN and the
heavy growth of stubble left from
last years crop held the little snow
which fell and also prevented the
ground from drying out and blowing.
The condition of the crop for this
county is estimated at from about
twenty five to thirty per cent. AS
much of the wheat ground as posi-
BILE will be listed into spring crops.
