WHEAT INJURED.
Must Restool to Make a Crop, and
Cannot Be Depended Upon.
There Is considerable uneasiness,
beyond Question well grounded, lest
the late severe cold spell Injured tho
winter wheat. In fact, It Is known to
be Injured, but Just how much cannot
bo told at this time. Many fields, or
rather parts of fields, which were a
bright nnd vigorous green Just before
the last cold snap, are now of a more
or less dingy, sickly yellow. The
greater part of the effects of the
freeze was felt on the lowest ground
In tho various fields affected.
In many Instances tho yellow, sick
ly effects follow tho bottoms and
sides of the hollows. In somo cases
tho entire field, provided It lay quite
low. was hurt In an almost equal de
gree. In many cases not only Is the
blade damaged, but tho stalks so so
veroly so that If wheat Is grown
there It must come from a complete
restoollng, and tho season Is too late
for any dependence to bo put in any
such chances.
