BULLETIN FOR NORTH DAKOTA
WEEKLY REPORT.
SUMMARY.
By B. q. Bronson, Director No tn Dakota Weather and Or

leys of the Red, Sheyenne and James rivers, and their tribu-
taries, much Of the ground is too wet to get on for either
seeding or blowing. Much of the land which is now too wet
to work will be sown to flax later, if weather permits.
Oats, barley and other small grain, except flax. are being
sown in all sections, and land prepared for corn.
Warmer weather the past week caused a very rapid
termination of all grain that had been sown, and much Of it
is now up, and without exception, looks very fine. Grass
has also made rapid progress.
It will require about three days of warm dry weather be-
fore most Of the low land will be in condition to work, al
though some Of it is covered with water and cannot be
reached for a much longer period.
