Farmers sowing Coarse Grain.

CHICAGO, April 20-The Times tomorrow
will print several columns of special dis
patches from the cereal growing districts of
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Dakota. The gist
of the information given is that planting and
seeding is delayed by the lateness of the sea-
son two or three weeks, and farmers In prac-
tically every section outside the Red river
valley are paying more, attention to coarse
grains and less to wheat than usual This
cutting down in the area of spring wheat
may be an important market factor in view
of the danger that threatens the winter
wheat crop of the western and middle states.
