Are Affected.

w -.
St. Paul. Mimi, July 1s.-Black
rust exists in Southern Minnesota
and Eastern South Dakota and in
some places has done considerable
damage to the wheat crop. according
to a statement issued today by e. q.
Quamme. president Of the federal land
bank.
Mr.. Quamme's statement followed
a thorough investigation and although
the yield has been n down: the
northwest will still harvest one of the
biggest wheat crops it has over had.
There is no RUS in Montana, North
Dakota o Northern Minnesota" said
MI. Quamme. and l do not think it
will spread now. The cool weather
saved the situation and wheat is COM
ing through fine. The Yield in Min
nesota will be disappointing and
some Of the wheat will be light and
chaffy due to black rust"
