Geiger, the participants being members
of the Hall and Steele families, the most

trouble originated some time ago in a
land trade and differences growing out
of timber transactions The Halls are

the Steeles are not lacking In courage.

would undoubtedly be benefit. In
South Dakota wheat is about four inches
high Although the season Is late the
general conditions are so much more
favorable than usual that crops will
soon catch up. In Minnesota the early
sown wheat is generally up all over the
State; the stand is good.
CORN
The country is forging ahead rapidly
in planting the corn crop. Large areas
of corn will be in the ground within the
next ten days. OF course in several OF
the States the bulk of the crop is now In
the ground.
During the week the oat crop of the
country has hardly held its own. There
is no uniformity in its general condition.
Nebraska probably shows the best opt-
look at present for full crop OF any
State where a surplus crop OF oats is
made. In Missouri and Kansas the con-
ditions are not an average; In Tennessee
and Kentucky the prospects are poor;
in the State of Illinois fair; very uneven
in Indiana and Ohio; in Iowa more or
less mixed. 1t Is too early to say any
thing yet with regard TO the condition of
the oat crop in the ,DakotAs and Min
nesota.
The late frost was not confined to
limited areas. 1t swept over the coun-
try from North Dakota, where the spring
wheat was just coming up, and left its
mark upon IL, and went upon its jour
ney of destruction across the country as
far south as the Ohio River. where 1t
caught the early winter wheat, just IN
