Kansas City Live Stock Boycott.

Kansas City, April l5,.-The boycott
started by the Kansas City livestock
commission men, who last week urged
their customers to ship 10 other mar
kets, had no appreciate effect on the

the case Of sheep. Today's arrivals
Of cattle amounted TO 5000 head,

ceipts Of hogs were 1000 against 5000
on last Tuesday, But 800 sheep were
received today, compared with 1900
head week ago. However, as the re-
ceipts Of sheep generally are variable,
this may not indicate anything. II is
said that the members Of the stock
yards company are today considering
the question of bringing injunction pro-
ceedlngs against the commission men
TO force them TO call of the boycott.

Although the temperature since

over the northern portion of the coun-
try east Of the Rocky Mountains. the
season is reported as backward In these
districts, except in New Eng and, where
II Is from one to two weeks eaili +
than the average. The season is also
backward In the southern states.
Rain Is much needed in the Ohio.
central Mississippi and lower Mississ-
ippi valleys, over the western portion
OF the lake region, In southern Florida
and the Rio Grande valley including
New Mexico and Colorado. Frosts
occurred as far south as the northern
portions Of the east gulf states and the
interior OF the Carolinas, causing no
serious damage. Warmer and dry
weather is badly needed on the north
Pacific coast.
Corn planting Is nearing completion
In the west gulf states and has made
favorable progress In the south Allan
tic and east gulf districts and Tonnes
zee. This work is general in Kansas
and Missouri.
While the growth Of winter wheat
has been slow. a very general improve
ment is reported from the principal
winter wheat states although the crop
has deteriorated slightly in central and
northern Illinois and Is suffering for
rain In northern Missouri Though
somewhat improved In Kentucky Ten.
nessee and Virginia, the condition Of
the crop In these states continues much
below the average. The Pacific winter
wheat has made rapid growth in Cali
fornla and a heavy crop is promised
north Of Tehachapi but In Oregon and
Washington the condition Of the crop Is
less promising, more especially in the
last named state, where a large area
had 20 be re-sOwn.
Spring wheat seeding Is well advanc-
ed In the southern portion Of the spring
wheat region and little has been sown
In southern North Dakota. A severe
