The Brook Reporter state that there is some talk of rust in the oats in that section. The itist question is one that few farmers worry about, many claiming that it is of frequent occurrence, and does but small damage except in extreme cases. The black rust scare in the Dakotas has been booming the wheat and oats market this week. Some of the crop experts claim it is too early to hurt the grain and the crop is very late this year, so it seems this might be true, but the speculator doesn’t wait for the facts usually and hence the high prices.
