JAMESTOWN, N. D., April 26.-The
snow storm of last night and yesterday
stopped tonight. The snowfall amount
ed to three inches. Farmers who be-
gan seeding the first of the week re-
ported that the setback from the snow
will prevent seeding for week at
least. Land was just getting in condi-
ton to ploW and harrow when the
storm arrived. The lateness of the sea-
son will prevent the usual acreage be-
ing seeded. Prominent farmers esti-
mate that half crop will be seeded.
Ex-senator Casey intended to SOW 1000
acres, but thinks it impossible to get in
that much now. If favorable weather
continues from now on, the acreage will
not be greatly diminished. If unfaYor-
able weather prevails, there is no tell
ing what the acreage will be. Occa-
sionalIy wheat sowed by June 1 has
matured, but the yield was small.
Chances of getting caught by frost are
always against late seeding, Many
farmers will not SOW bushel after
May 90.
