Carefully prepared reports received in
Milwaukee on the 18th inst from hun
dred points all through the wheat-produe-
ing region-Minnesota, Wisconsin. Iowa,
Dakota and Manitoba-and partial reports
from lllinsis. show that the promise of an
early seeding has not been realized. Al
though the season is early and warm.
seeding will not be generally under way
in the Northwest much before May The
heavy rain of last fall left the ground
thoroughly saturated and to a considera-
BILE extent precluded the usual fall plough
ing. thus reducing acreage. The farmers
in many sections were ready or had be-
gun their spring seeding when the heavy
rains occurred, which added to the already
soaked soil and prevented work. In some
of the high and well-drained lands in
Northern Minnesota. notably in Kittson
and Marshall counties, seeding is going
on, and in portion of Northern and
Southern Dakota.
