Late Rains Did Not Damage the
Wheat; Quality Best in
Years; Also Biggest Acre
age and Big Yield.

One week ago, glooms rested heavi-
ly on the spirits of Grady county
farmers and the prospects for saving
the biggest crop OF wheat Grady has
ever produced, were slim owing TO
the almost daily rains, but with the
cooperation of the weather man at
least seyenty-five per cent of the
crop is safely in the shock, and the
remaining twenty-five Per cent is be-
ing rapidly cared for. Wherefore.
the glooms have turned TO smiles and
the threshermen are busy oiling up
their machines.

vest weather The sun boiled down
hot and j. Pluv laid off the Job while
