OATS DAMAGED BY
HEAVY RAINFALL

Heavy rainfall has delayed oat
harvest and has caused the maturing
crop to fall and lodge badly. Early
oats are cut or were being harvested
when rain interfered, while later
varieties will be injured by the sur
plus rain.
Wheat went into the shock dry and
unless the period of unfavorable
weather is too long continued prob
ably will not be injured. Farmers are
going over their shocks and replacing
caps where needed Because the
straw was dead when the wheat was
cut it'did not make tight bundles and
care is necessary to prevent the grain
being injured by moisture.
