No damage has been suffered by the wheat crop so far, is the opinion of T. C. Thatcher, general manager the Oklahoma City Mill ft Elevator company. A general rain at this time would be a serious thing, Thatcher says. The harvest hat already been de layed week by rain, Thatcher tayt, and farmert are working night and day to get the wheal cut.

Twenty percent ol the crop hat been cut al ready, he says. Rain now would not only result in the wheat falling, but would cause the grains to scatter from the heads, resulting in loss. First shipments of the new crop are expected to be received by the mill here by Saturday.
