BLACK stem rust is causing con-
siderable damage to late wheat, and
lIessian flies and grasshoppers are
also doing great deal of damage. A
light frost occurred during the week,
but it caused no damage. Most har-
vesting work will start the coming
week. Sweet clover pastures are in
excellent condition, but the second
crop of alfalfa will be short in most
places. y. c. Russell, Beach.

THE wheel -cseRco of the county will
not exceed t9ai0 III bushels per acre,
due to the Interesting damage from
black stem rust. Several fields have
also been damaged by Hess!an flies.
Light yields of rye are reported, and
harvestingef this crop is about fin
ished. Wheat harvesting is started.
Corn and oats will give excellent
yields. Potato yields will be light,
, although fields are very free from
disease. The county has more feed
: than will be needed over winter.

:. Wheat harvesting has started on
few farms, and will be general next
week. Present indications are that
about II bushels of fair quality
wheat will be the average for the
county. Rush continues to increase,
and saw fly maggot infestation is
hnn IN I'm
and should make good crop. Corn
is in the roasting ear stage. Pas
lures are holding out we'll, and the
second crop of alfalfa is being cut"

BLACK stem rust has severely in
jured late wheat and black chaff is
F.. also causing considerable damage.
Many fields will not pay to cut, due
to poor quality and yield coupled
with high prices of labor. Harvest
ing of the wheat crop will be finished
next week. Rye harvest is finished,
and many low yielding fields were
not cut, due to poor prices. Some
rye has been threshed, yielding from
8 to II bushels. Early oats have been
harvested, and have made fair crop,
with the exception of fields damaged
by grasshoppers. Dry weather and
,erasshoppers will cause considerable
damage to late oats. Early flax is
2 beginning to turn, but rain is needed
for this crop. Corn is making ex-
cellent progress. Potatoes are only
talr. Sweet clover and alfalfa are in
fairly good condition, but native
pastures are dry. A light frost
caused slight damage to the corn
- crop. during the week." - M. C.

Wheat is very spotted, and rust
and heat have greatly reduced the
prospective yield. Durham is stand
ing up fairly well. Harvesting of
Wheat will be general the middle of
: next week, and rye harvesting is
about finished. Fields threshed have
produced yields ranging from l to
