CEASE ON ACCOUNT OF Damage to Crops Will Not be Serious Unless Rains Contin ue Say Farmers, Grain $Ien. I While a continued rain of several . . . any would seriously damage Lmatiua rounty wheat crop by 'bleaching the grain, today's precipitation will not damage it, say farmers and grain men. It is not the first rain but the su-bse-lthe quent rains which usually damage 1 , i : . - .. 'nv. : wheat, according to growers. The rain, while it la continuous, it not heavy enough to beat down the grain. Harvesting operations are of course delayed by the rain, causing a consid erable extra expense to farmers. Even with the cessation of the rain, it will take eonsrdi rahle shit, to dry-it suffi ciently to permit resumption of har vest. The rainfall i general and ha stop. 1 ed machines all over the country.
