which has still further retarded seeding.
Considerable complaint is also heard Of

with seeding which is most marked in
Polk, Norman and Clay counties.
Heavy rains have fallen in the south
east corner of the State, but there they

except grasses which are now almost as
tall as when cut a year ago. The grain
