greater part of the latter grains has just
been seeded and was not up, the damage
is confined to th'.t sown early in the
season. Wheat appears to have suffered
very little, most reports agreeing that
the cold weather has been beneficial in
causing it to stool.
More rain is needed in all parts of the
state as the surface of the ground is dry
and has been baked by the warm
weather Of q week ago, but this dry
weather has in q measure been q great
protection to crops, as had the ground
been wet, with the cold weather of the
past week. frosts would have been much
more destructive than they have been.
The telegraphic reports this morning
show quite q rise in temperature in the
northwest and it is probable that the
coming week will be more favorable than
the past n
