In the Hoople territory the crop is not

Wheat is yielding from 20 to 81

Most OF the harvesting will be com
pleted next week, Early fax is excel

most cases is poor. Corn is making
a rapid growth and stocks from 6. to
9 feet high are not unusual. Gardens
are the best in years and indications
are that a big potato crop will be Sc
for seed the latter part Of next week.
Alfalfa and sweet clover fields from
which second cuttings have been
made will still furnish pasture this

Grasshoppers are flying in and doing
ONE damage also."-C. B. Aamodt,

Shortage Of men is holding up thresh-
