Conditions for Week Ending
April 90, 1894.
The past week has been, if anything,
more %unfavorable for farming operations
than the preceding one, and there
has been, consequently, little done in
that direction. The heavy rain and
snow storm of the 18th and 10th, which
came just when the ground was getting
in good condition for seeding, was a set
back for nearly a week, except in the
extreme northern part of the state. In
the lower Red River valley the season is
said to be later than the average for the
past sixteen years, and in Burleigh
for the past ten years.
In spite of the unfavorable weather
some seeding has been done, and it is
probable that the end of this week will
find it in progress in all parts of the
state.>
Wheat that was sown in March is said
to have rotted and will have to be re-
planted. The conditions have been more
favorable in the central and western
parts Of the state than in any other Sec
ton.
The temperature during the week has
been deficient of the usual amount, and
the precipitation largely in excess, while
there has been very little sunshine.

week has delayed farm work beyond any
previous year for past ten years in this
township. Strong warm winds will fit the
land to plow in about a week If no more
moisture comes.
McKenzie-The low lands are too wet tc
work. High lands are in good condition
for seeding. The acreage in this locality
will be about the same as last year.
CAsS
Wild Rice-The past week has been cold
cloudy and disagreeable, and not an hour
of sunshine in the past nine days, so thai
the prospects for early seeding are no,
bright. 1t wilt take two weeks of fine
weather before we can seed here. BY my
records this season will be behind the aver
age for fourteen years. The seeding done
in March is likely to be a failure.
Tower City-Owing to wet weather for
the entire week farmers have been unable
to do anything. No work can possibly be
done before the 25th.
Wheatland-No seeding done yet. Farm.
ers will commence in a few days if weather
continues fine.
Casselton-The past week has been cold
and stormy and no work could be done
Blu with one day of drying weather, the
higher and we'll drained lands will be iii
to work.

of life. Flowing and seeding is the order
of the day, and all is favorable.

the past week delayed seeding several
days. The seeding is about one-third done.

for several days on account OF the stormy
weather last week.
