The Recent Cold Snap sail to Have
Seriously D~aulagpal the Wins
ter Variety
In Some Sections Of t'le Country, Es-
peeially in Western Kansas
and Oklahoma. .
Some Portions OF Illinois and Ne
braska Also Suffered to o
Great Extent.

CHICAGO, March 28.-The Herald
says: 1t is feared the recent cold snap,
following a season of d weather,
greatly damaged the winter wheat crop,
but is too soon to give ever Al approx
innate estimate OF the injury. Even
those in the best position to Judge differ
in their opinions and are disposed TO
await later and more definite advices.
The crop is thought TO have teen dam
aged in Western Kansas and Oklahoma,
though a ray Of hope il found in
the fact that the ground was dry.
Central and Eastern Kansas lie reported
to have escaped without serious loss.
Opinions on the Minnesota crop are
contradictory, but it is likely 10 suffer
il the cold weather is followed BY q sud
den thaw. Some farmers think that in
the absence of alternate freezing and
thawing, the wheat has escaped dam
age. It is thought the Ohio crop was
not far enough advanced TO be injured.
In Eastern and Central Nebraska wheat
is believed to have suffered severely,
but farther north and west the recent
snowfall has protected the grow
ing plants. It is feared that Indiana
wheat has suffered considerably, but if
the cold has not reached the roots, as is
hoped, the damage may not be % Sc
rious as feared. A report from Sparta,
Ills, says the crop Ia badly damaged in
one locality to the extent Of 90 per cent.
1t is thought Michigan has escaped
without serious injury. NSrth and
South Dakota are not in the winter
wheat belt. In the latter the melting
snow will benefit spring wheat. In the
former planting il backward and the
acreage OF spring wheat will be ONE
third less than last year. 81.

speeches, and his gestures in debate are
more emphatic than graceful, but what
he says is always heard and generally re-
