rep1anted and is coming up to fair STANDS
but more replanting Is necessary In som'
sections. Early planted corn has oeol
plowed out for the first time over tht
southern portion Of the state In locailiei
where the weather would admit of sucl
work.
Wheat is heading out nicely ana the e
continues very promising.

Planting is progressing nicely over Mort

of the continued unfavorahle weather con
ditions. with favorable weather, plant
ing will be rushed during the comm

The fruit crop continues very promis
ing In most sections. Vegetables an
strawberries are doing very WELL but NOR
sunshine and warmer nights would b
beneficial for these crops. Many Yegc
tables and berries are being markete
fairly well. Hay and other crops ar
doing very we'll.
