The weekly crop bulletin of the
weather bureau for the week ending
May 18th, is as follows: There was
practically no rain north of the
Minnesota river during the week,
and in southern counties there were
only light and much scattered
showers. The weather was cool in
the middle of the week, and on the
mornings of the I'd, Sd and 18th there
were severe frosts, and ice was
formed in many places as thick as
window glass. Early in the week
high winds dried out the soil. and
IN kittson county a severe dust
storm was reported. The barley
and oats are about all seeded: most
of the wheat and much of the oats
and barley are up and growing very
nicely with good stands, though in
Polk county it is said that wheat is
not as even as it would have been
with earlier and more abundant
rains. The cool weather of the
week has been favorable to the root
growth and stooling of early sown
small grains. Potato planting is
pretty we'll advanced. Flax has
been sown during the week,
and in few places it is all in the
ground. Some corn has been
planted, and a great deal of corn
ground is ready for the seed, but
many are deferring planting till the
soil is warmer. Gardening is very
we'll advanced, and the market
gardeners have made the first de-
llveries of out-of-door grown stuff.
