Klamath crops are now making

A bright spot in the situation la
the barley on Irrigated lands of tht

Very little damage waa done be
cause the crop had not reached the
stage of susceptibility. Chet Main,

that the harvest will bring a good
return of wheat and barley, and
Henderson made similar comment
concerning these crops In the main

Henderson gave special attention
to potato fields on hit trip over tht
