eastern portion of the state was IS to
80 per cent completed while SIS to rs
per cent of the plowing has been done
in central and western counties.
Wheat threshing in the eastern and
west central counties is practically
completed with 20 per cent of the
crop to be threshed in other localities.
Extensive cutting of corn for si,o fill
ing is reported from a number of
counties. Damage to corn as a re-

ed:
This may be due largely to the
feeling that the law and its enforce.

fact the remedy has been applied in
