the season has been harvested on the
West Slope by Albert Gray, manager
Of the Thorberg ranch southwest Of
this city, who started cutting rye
Tuesday. He reports a splendid stand
and a big yield. Mr.. Gray says the
wheat and oats also are looking fine
and the barley will equal the record
crop. Hesexpects to be able to begin
cutting these grains in a week or ten
days.
The grain all stands from 80 to 40
inches high and is well headed out.
There is no sign of rust, and the
hoppers, though very numerous, have
done little or no damage.
Hail adjusters throughout this Sec
ton say that while many individuals
have been hard hit the total percent
age of loss will be smaller than in
several years past.
