Rains Play Havoc With Oats Crop: The condition of the oats crop in Washtenaw county is well illustrated by the scene, pictured above, taken Monday on the Bolgos creamery farm, Plymouth road where four men, using a tractor and binder are trying to salvage as much of the crop as possible. Rains of the recent weeks had beaten the uncut grain to the ground. Many farmers are turning their sheep into their oats fields or seeding them to clover, rather than undertaking the well-nigh hopeless task of recovering the grain. The loss of grain in a field such as that shown above runs from one fifth to one half, even when the greatest care is taken, as it was in this instance.
