so per cent has been planted. or rather all

Conservative estimates places the perceut-
age of the crop already planted az ~

portion is above ground, but the stand Is
very poor, aud in many cases replanLng
will be necessary. Planting in this sec
ton wac from two 10 three weeks later

IL is believed that a sufficient quantity is
