are still green, but there Is no pros-

most of the fields of that sort will
never be cut at all.
"Of course taking It in comparison
with the wheat acreage of the whole
country, fhe damage down here Is

that there has been practically no

up as the two counts on which Joseph
I. Bogart asks a total of $30,000 dam-
