Omaha daily bee., 1903-05-13

nicely from the effect of the low tempera-
ture Of last week. Grass has grown slowly,
but pastures are in excellent condition.
Considerable progress has been made In
planting corn in the southern counties the
last week; however, this work is less ad-
vanced than 1t usually is at this time of
year. But little corn has been planted in
central and northern counties some early
planted corn is up in southern counties.
The damage to fruit by the severe weather
of last week now appears to be much less
than was at first supposed.
