s,oneiltlon of Wheat.

REPORTS for March received at the
United States Weather Bureau at HUI
ron giving wheat conditions through
ONT South AAlGeta at the end Of the
month, are more encouraging than an
ticipated. A very small portion OF
the acreage was sown prior to the
snow storm on and about the 10th, and
that sOwn was not seriously injured,
Generally, the early sown wheat Is all
right, and seeding Is now going rapidly
forward in all parts OF the state. The
late snow and cold interfered greatly
with seeding In the western and north
ern portions Of the state. The moist
ure incident to the heavy snow has
been absorbed and the ground Ia now
in splendid condition. Estimates given
indicate that. the wheat acreage over
the state will be much less than last
year, some place il at 20 per cent. less.
In this immediate vicinity the aggre-
gate corn acreage will be increased In
the same ratio as the wheat acreage is
decreased.

Is now learned officially that pending
the settlement OF this suit it will be
impossible to survey the lands in Greg.
ory County. Since the opening OF the
lands to settlement the settlers have
remained there without knowing the
boundaries OF their land or being able
to file homestead entries upon the
claims. They have simply been squat.
ters, and will remain squatters until
such time as the lands are surveyed,
and then some Of them who have been
on the land since the opening OF the

are located upon scho0! sections or
other land not subject to settlement.
