The Chicago Times says the weather still
continues unusually mild, and prepare
tons for every branch of seeding ana plow
ing have been and are still the order of the
day. In Dakota and some portions of Min
nesota ground has been narrowed" but Sc
far as sowing is concerned farmers in that
latitude prefer to get ready and keep theil
seed in the bag rather than put 1t in the
ground in February with the chances of it'
being frozen in for six weeks. In Nebraska
some seeding, however, has actually been
done, but the great mass of my correspon
dents from those states sum up the situa
ton that the prospects for early seeding
but little freezing weather every condition
for spring wheat is very favorable.
Where shall we look, the coming season
for our increased supply of wheat? asks 6
western writer, who answers his own ques
ton in the following manner: Not from
Wisconsin. Not from Iowa, neither from
southern Minnesota, but from northern
Minnesota and Dakota will the increase
average he made. The general public does
not realize what great preparations are now
being made along the line of the Northern
Pacific and the st. Paul, Minneapolis q
Manitoba roads to strain every nerve to
save every acre that was broken in 1881
So far there is everything in favor Of the
opening of a fine season in that region
So much for the spring wheat. As to win
ter wheat prospects we are still able to
report that the crop has now held its own
for the last ten days. The weather IN the
winter wheat belt has been exceedingly
mild, and in the more southern ATTITUDES
wheat has been growing. The only por-
ton of the country where there is at
present any exreme conditions to prevent
the regular routine farm work is in the
southwest In Arkansas and Texas the
weather has been extremely wet, and
spring work is very much delayed. Ten
nessee and Kentucky are similarly situated.
Southern planters now talk of planting
more corn than usual. The winter wheat
and oat crop is very promising, and by the
Dist of May will be ready to harvest. There
has been very little movement in grain at
interior points during the past week, and
the break III prices will have tendency to
still further decrease deliveries by farmers.
In Chicago to-day March wheat opened
at 1.25s and closed at 1.26f. The closing
sales last evening were at 1.24l
