Wheat Harvest Nears End in Frederick Valley
Farmers report harvest largely complete in Frederick valley with some still cutting and others making hay. Middletown valley areas lag, and overall yield is a disappointment by 75 percent of normal due to rain wind damage and brown rust. A Washington teacher defines jazz as a maximum of motion in the minimum space.
