Favorable Outlook.

The outlook for the farmers Of Mon.

year. Plenty Of moisture has started
the grass and has caused crops to be
farther advanced than they have been
fer many years past and the moisture
in the ground Is such At the present
time that the country can stand a
drouth for several weeks yet to como.
The season is stin young. to be sure.
but every indication points to the har
vesting of the heaviest wheat crop ever
known, and to the raising of all other
crops In proportion.
The weather conditions sa far have
been almost ideal. Every rain has been
followed by warm weather, SO that the
earth, instead of being chilled by the
moisture, has been warmed up and tie
seeds in the ground have had good
opportunity to terminate. The early
sown wheat is all up and shows spien-
did stand. Warmth and moisture at
the right time have insured the proper
termination of the seed. and the cooler
days have prevented the too rapid
growth of the young plant.
The sheepmen are all feeling gooi.
They have plenty of grass and plenty
of lambs to eat it, and the heavy rains
have washed the wool on the sheep go

the start what the year will bring forth.
