Athena, June 11. As a result pt cold, backward weather, a red rust has invaded the wheat fields of this section. So far no fears beyond a slight decrease In yield Is -predicted. The fields which have been Invaded by rust Is confined to those where the grain Is heavy and of exception ally rank growth. In fields where the grain Is thin the rust Is of little consequence. Up to the present only the blades on the plant has been affected, the stock yet remains undamaged -and It Is thought that the present warm weath er will serve to check any further damage to crop prospects.
