other fields nearby escaped damage.
1T was the most freakish play OF
the elements of nature that / have
known said j. G. Kline, Wayne
county agricultural agent II do not
believe there will be any serious loss
in the total corn yield as result,
though it will mean a later crop. In
some fields, however, there will be a
loss"
The corn stand is good in Wayne
county and there are prospects for an
excellent yield this year, the county
agent said. 1t needs rain. though, in
the course of the next week and un-
less the moisture comes there is a
possibility of the dry weather serious
ly affecting the crop.
Garden products were not injured
as a result of the frost, nor was the
corn in the highlands touched by it.
Mr.. Kline visited various parts of the
county Sunday to see what actual
damage had been done. and he said
that some Of the low farm land corn
suffered, while many fields in the
bottoms were not even affected.

Sought POstponement

LONDON, June 24-One of
the principal objects of the re-
cent visit to Germany of Baron
Burian, the Austro-Hungarian
foreign minister, was to obtain
consent for an indefinite post
ponement of the Austrian often
sive, the correspondent of The
Daily Mail at Annemasse, on the
Franco-Swiss border, says he
learns from an unimpeachable
source.
Baron Burian pointed out
that failure of the drive in con-
junction with the threatening
food problem and race questions
might lead to the gravest inter-
nal disorders, even revolution,
but if Austria were permitted to
remain on the defensive the
breadless situation might be
tided over.
Berlin, it is added, insisted
that an immediate offensive
was necessary to relieve the
western front and to rehabiliate
Austria with the German pub
lie.

that threshermen in Indiana should
