DAMAGE TO WHEAT.
RUST RIFE IN CANADA. MONTREAL, June 29. The Chicago correspondent of the Australian Associated Press reports that one widely-known crop expert, who is conducting a 1000-mile tour of the winter wheat belt, said he found every field he inspected badly infested with rust and severely damaged. Many fields promising 30 to 35 bushels to the acre will not yield over 10. The conditions are similar to those in 1904, 1916 and 1935, when wholesale destruction occurred.
