TINE FOR SEEDING
Farmers Will Soon Be Planting
Wheat if Present Weather
Continues.
Preliminary Farm Work Is Already
in Progress in Southern
Minnesota.

The northwestern wheat crop will have
an early start this year if present weather
conditions continue for another week or
ten DAYS. Preliminary farm work is be-
ginning through southern Minnesota. Ten
days more win see activity all through the
over a good part Of the southeastern part
of South Dakota. .y:#
This will be an early start compared
with the average, but it, Will be almost
two weeks late compared with last year
At many points the ground is now too
wet for work while at that time the
weather was remarkably favorable, and at
several important points seeding began
as early as March 16 and II, breaking
all records for an early start
Grain men all say that it is too early yet
to venture upon predictions. That there
will be the usual increase in acreage in the
more distant parts of the area is expected.
Nearly every Minneapolis grain house OF
prominence has started or will soon start
systematic inquiry along this line. %
There is expectation of an increase In
the oats acreage. Last year the north
west planted more coarse grains than ever
before, and the turning Of many Mime
sofa. South Dakota and even North Da-
kota lands from wheat to corn, rye, oats
and barley was a feature of worldwide
| interest last year. In 1901 there had beer
a, great disaster TO lue GOTH d1lu OdlS
crops and the high prices that followed
naturally encouraged the farmers to plan
| more of these cereals. This suggest:
| the idea that in the coming planting
much of this coarse grain land will be pu
! back to wheat. Grain men scout th1
idea. The northwest, they assert, will II
all probability hold the gain in coars
grain acreage and even increase it from
year to year. AS to the fax acreage thf
year, this will depend. not SO much upol
immigration and the breaking of new Ian
as upon the price. Cash No. 1 flax

a break under $1.00 between now and tn
time of flax seeding might influence man
farmers. Much Of the new land will go t
fax anyway. s--
An early start in spring wheat seedin
is desirable, yet is not without its dar

March takes chances of having to do
all over again. Still in good year a

southern part Of Minnesota is too wet TIL

Washington, April 3.-Domestic trade
movements, as reported in the February
Summary of Internal Commerce, issued
by the treasury bureau of statistics, show
a general improvement over conditions at
the corresponding date last year. In live
stock, in movements of wheat and flour,
in movements of corn and in traffic on
the great lakes, the figures showing pres
eEt conditions indicate a decided advance
over those Of the corresponding date last
year.
l. In live stock, the traffic operations at
five western centers amounted during Feb
ruary to 47,151 cars, having advanced
from 41,387 cars in February, 1902, and
41,933 cars in February, 1901. For the
two months ending with February this
year. 99,202 cars were reported, compared
with SS,237 cars to the end of February,
1902, and SS,497 cars for the first two
months of 1901. 80
| Receipts of wheat at eight markets to
| the end of February for the current CROP
year are reported as amounting to 2O1, 500,

marked that the intellect of the court
was so dark a fash OF lightning could
not penetrate it. For this contempt
the judge showed a disposition to be
very severe with the offender, and it
was only after much persuasion by
friends of the latter that he yielded
and decided to accept public apol

accordingly, appeared before his honor
and made amends by saying. u re-
