Poor Walking.

There is much complaint, partieu-
larly just now, when the ground is
beginning to thaw out, from people
who go from town to visit Chippian-
mock cemetery, as to the condition of
the walk from Center station to the
entrance of the cemetery. An ARGUS
reporter spoke to Phil Mitchell, one
of the directors of the Cemetery as
ISOLATION, and he stated that IF the
South Rock Island commissioners will
see to it that the street is widened to
its proper width and the fence on the
north side set back to line where it
belongs, the Cemetery association will
provide a suitable and substantial
sidewalk from the street car station to
the cemetery entrance"

CONDITION OF THE CROPS.
Spring Farm Work Begun-Goo6 Pros
poets for Fruits.

The monthly report of the Illinois
section of the climate and crop serv-
ice saws the N onth of March has been
rather cold, and the season is there
fore somewhat ate. Some snow has
fallen during the month, but the
greater portion of the snow protection
was afforded by the heavy fall of the
latter part of February in the central
and northern sections. This snow lay
on the ground until well into March,
and in some sections through almost
the entire month. The month has
been rather dry, but in the central and
northern portions of the state The lack
of rain has been compensated for by
the melting snow. In parts of the
southern section rain is reported as
needed.
The spring farm work has Just be-
gun in the northern section, but it is
more advanced toward the south
until in the extreme south consider
able progress has been made, the
sowing of oats being about finished in
some districts. The ground is gem
orally reported in good condition,
though frost is still found at some
depth in the middle and northern sec
tions. Gardening is being pushed in
some southern districts.
Rye is doing well and clover and
timothy are generally in fine condi-
ton, though in some places they are
slow in starting aud in others badly
frozen. Clover seems to have suf-
fered more than timothy and old
meadows more than new. The out
look for fruit, especially apples, seems
favorable except fer peaches, which
are reported killed in all parts of the
state except some southern portions.
Considerable injury to grapes is also
from some districts. There
seems to be excellent prospects for a
good crop of small fruits. Stock has
stood the winter well and is now in
excellent condition.
