The warm weather of the past week
has had the effect of showing how
much of the fall wheat was frozen
during the cold weather, and It ap
pears that considerable loss was sus
tained in spite of the numerous state
ments made by farmers to the con
trary. ,
Within the last few days the actual
facts concerning the situation have
become known, and they show a
heavy loss In the section of the coun
ty lying between Wild Horse and
Adams on the east, and extending
west and north aa far as Echo and
the Columbia. In the opinion of E.
W. McComas, 40 per cent of the fall
wheat of that region has been killed
and the land will have to be reseeded.
' Of the ' wheat that was lost some
was In large fields, while much was
In small ' patches. Apparently the
wheat suffering the moat was that
which waa seeded earliest and was
out of the ground at the time of the
freeze. The wheat not yet up Is un
injured.
Among those who are known to
have reseedlng to do are the follow
ing: John O. Richardson, 1000 acres;
Louis Hagan, (00 acres; W. P. Tem
ple, 1100 acres; Harry Lorenzen,
800 acres; Henry Rosenberg, 800
