' A check -u11 on threshing shows that barley is not yielding as good as expected, nor is the sample up to the standard, due chiefly to late sowing. In a lesser degree the same goes for oats. EAI'ly sowed fall wheat is aver- aging as high as 40 bushels to the acre, and aid not suffer from rust, It is a different story with wheat sown atter September 10. This is nearly ail rust damaged and yields only 25 !bushels to the acre.
