Wheat in Bad Shape.

Reports on the wheat crop from different parts of the county are very unfavorable, and already many farmers have plowed up their wheat fields and sowed them to oats. Occasionally we hear of a field that looks well. It is also quite a common opinion that farmers had best not decide too quickly that their wheat is no good, and plow it up. In previous years it has often happened that wheat which looked very bad at this time, came out of its kinks later and made a good crop.
