FRUITS DAMAGED.
Cold Snap Hurts Strawberries and
PIums.

| The week opened very warm and
| pleasant and farmers We're hopeful of
being able to complete the much de-
layed seeding of spring grain and to
advance preparations for corn, but on
| Wednesday all farm work was again
| brought to standstill by the general
ly copious rains which occurred in
nearly all parts of the state, says the
government weather report for May
5. The storm was followed by a de-
clded drop in temperature, which
turned the rain to snow by Thursday
morning and caused hard freezing
weather Thursday night in the central
and northern counties, with killing
frosts in the southern. The snowfall
ranged in depth from a trace in the
southern section to to inches along
Lake Superior. Ice formed to a thick
ness of one-fourth of an inch in many
localities. Strawberries and plums
were undoubtedly damaged in many
localities, but it is believed that other
fruits were generally not sufficiently
advanced to be liable to serious in
jury. In some localities garden truck
was injured, but otherwise no serious
damage was occasioned by the freez-
ing weather. The remainder of the
week continued cool, with northerly
winds. Winter wheat and rye have
continued to make fairly good prog
ress, notwithstanding the cold
weather. and are generally considered
to be in very excellent condition
Seeding of spring grains is not yet
completed, work having been delay ed
by the cold weather There is some
complaint of poor termination in the
early sown grains on account of the
unfavorable weather and in some To-
calities reseedins will be necessary.
Grass and pastures have made sub
stantial progress during the week, but
stock is still being fed.
Practically nothing was accom-
plished during the week toward the
advancement of the preparations for
corn, as the soil was generally too
wet for blowing. Some early potatoes
have been planted, but in most sec
/ tons of the potato belt the prepare
tons for this crop are not completed.
The condition of vegetation is prob
ably not quite so far advanced as is
usual at this date, but thus far has
suffered no serious setback. The soil
is well supplied with moisture, and
only warm weather is needed to cause
very rapid growth.

At last the stern parent came up
