Wheat Not Injured
By Heavy Rainfall

With almost five inches of rain
fall this>week, Curry County is thor
oughly soaked and harvesting has
been put at 5tandstill. Much of
the wheat was ready to cut when the
big rain came on the 4th, but it is
estimated that not much damage has
been done to that standing in the
field, for it was not ripe enough to
fall down.
Owing to the condition of the
fields, there will likely be but little
cutting now until next week.
Some Marketing.
Some wheat was marketed before
the rain but has been a little green
which has affected the grade. Elcva-
tor men say that the indications are
that there will be some smut in the
wheat this year but the grade on an
average will come up to the standard
of previous years.
No. 2 wheat was quoted at 92 cents
in Clovis Thursday.
