Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 22, Number 78, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 June 1901 — Oats Are Very Short. [ARTICLE]

Oats Are Very Short.

Farmers in this vicinity are not near as well satisfied with the outlook for an oats crop as they were a week or so ago. Instead of making more growth of straw after the rains, as was hoped for, they have begun heading out, and are therefore sure to be a very light crop. Eye is generally good, and wheat, what there is, is fine. Corn has come out wonderfully during the last week, and farmers are everywhere putting in their best licks at loosening the soil and clearing it of weeds.
