Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 34, Number 77, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 May 1902 — Wheat Crop Failure. [ARTICLE]

Wheat Crop Failure.

State Statistician Johnson’s bulletin announces the fact that 4he-ladiaaa wheat crop for the year 1902 will be a failure. This statement is verified by the different township reports contained in the May bulletin which has just gone to the printer. Forty-seven counties throughout the state show a loss of 445 points, while 33 coun ties show a gain of only 241 points. In Jasper county, what little there was sown is looking fine.
