ting ready to put in their crops. There
will probably not be so large an acreage
put in as usual, on account of the far
mers not being able to buy the seed.
More attention will be paid to irriga-
ton where it is at all feasible. Proba-
bly, root crops, such as potatoes, sugar
beets and other vegetables will be
largely raised.

cold spell and if the balance of the
winter and spring should not prove
too unfavorable stock will get through
in excellent shape.
