The weekly crop report of the Min
nesota weather bureau says that the
weather conditions during the week
ending Monday night, April 9th, on
the whole ,wasquiie favorable through
out the entire State for farm work, Jun
til Saturday,when severe snowstorm
began in the northern portion, which
gradually spread throughout the
Southern sections by Sunday morn
ing. This storm, while damaging to
some extent, winter wheat, rye and a
portion of the March sown spring
wheat, will, with the further exception
of delaying progress in seeding for
few days, have beneficial effect upon
the general results. The temperature
in the Red River Valley averaged
largely above the normal, the warm
est days beng Friday and Saturday,
and some seeding was done as far
north as Clay county on the latter
day. Along the Minnesota Valley
and south, the temperature averaged
just about normal, with considerable
freezing and thawing weather in ex-
posed places, which was quite damag-
ing to the early sown grain on low,
wet lands. The rainfall was largely
in excess throughout the State, the
greatest departure being in the north
ern portions. There is still plenty of
ice and snow in the timber lands, but
elsewhere the frost is nearly all out of
the top soil. Much of the March sown
wheat has sprouted and in the south
western sections of the State seeding
is nearly finished. Many reports state
that greater attention will be paid to
diversified farming than heretofore,
and that corn, oats, rye, barley, flax
and potatoes will he planted in the
place of wheat. Meeker and Henne-
pin counties report that some March
sown wheat has rotted and that it will
have to be resown. High winds on
Tuesday did little injury to crops in
the southwest section, but the soil
was too moist for the damage to be
extensive. A considerable amount of
