It covers the Treherne Holland Rathwell Killar ney district." I Tribune Staff Xerrespttndeat KILLARNEY, Aug, Wheat cutting Is just commencing at a number of points visited Wednesday. To a field of wheat being cut two miles east of Treherne goes the credit for showing us the brightest and cleanest yet seen, It being practically frea from rust. Though most wheat around this point shows tha disease in varying stages, tha surrounding park lika territory from Holland to Rathwell presents a harvest outlook of outstanding proportions. Danger of serious rust Is by no meani past and cooler weather, among other things, is desirable.

Recent dry, hot weather has left Its mark on grain, reducing previous promised yield. "However," one farmer etated, no doubt In a state of excessive enthusiasm, "If this crop li safely harvested we'll ba on easy street." Later wheat Is still In the milk; stage, oats are still very green, not yet turning. Barley in tha Stsok For the most part barley la In the stook. One Treherne farmer advised that thla will ba tha beet crop he ever harvested. General optimism li the prevailing note.

"A mighty goqd crop and no kick yet as to rust," la tha summing of the situation by the settlers. Pasture crops are In tha finest shape, thli being tha case In all districts yet visited. Grain crops are light to the west of here.

At, this Jtincturo the court snaln criticized the action of Judge Harkness, of the Juvenile Court, anil said It did not look well when the latter had told the girl's counsel that there was no charge whn he knew that there was a complnlnt In existence.
