Little damage has been done thus far by rust, Mr. Fletcher said his observations revealed, al- though he found the infection present in many fields. Average weather conditions in the spring wheat area this year, he ‘said, have been highly favorable in keeping black stem rust in check. Rains in nearly every section of North Dakota in a 48-houy period ending ‘at 7 o'clock ,this morning have secured promise of a bountiful, crop in some sections, have removed immediate danger of much threaten- ed damage from lack of moisture and have assured a good crop of early! sown grain in this immediate sec- tion. The weather bureau’s;teport shows that there was rain in fiearly every part of North Dakota, the heaviest} rainfall being at.Bowbells, in the northwestern. part of the state, where 1.30 inches» was reported in the 48-hour ‘period’ between 7 a. m, Saturday. morning and 7a, m. today.
