Growing Weather.

Rains and moist SHOWS have been
general throughout the state and the
ground now contains very favorable
amount of moisture. except at few
points on the west side of the Main
range and in localities of Rosebud
and Custer counties, where precipita-
ton was not as heavy as desired.
The snow storm during the first of
the week was, in number of coun-
ties unusually heavy for May. The
prevailing low temperatures, together
with the lack of sunshine, made crop
growth very slow. but all vegetation
should now advance rapidly as the
weather grows warmer. and ranges,
especially, from their present condi-
ton, Indicate that they will make a
very marked improvement.
Winter wheat is in fair condition
and a considerable amount of spring
wheat is up, but, in some sections
it's color is poor on account of cold
weather.
| Seeding oats and planting corn and
potatoes has been delayed and is still
in progress. In the vicinity of Lock
Rosebud county, early planted corn
which was up, was killed by frost
Timothy, rye and, as a rule, alfalfa
are in very good condition; some OF
the latter crop. however, is winter
killed.
Fruit tree blossoms were blighted
by frost around Baird MissOula cOun
ty, and Columbus, Yellowstone coun
| ty. Frosts and freezes also damaged
garden truck at scattered points.

Has the science of pugilism passed its
zenith. or does the ring represent high
er degree Of skill than before? These
questions have arisen since Jeffriess in
cumbency of the championship.
Some argue that Jeffries represents q
higher type of physical development than
any fighter yet produced. Others believe
that he is Abnormal and that the ring
really is on a downward path so far as
merit Is concerned.
Advocates of the first theory base their
arguments on the fact that Jeffries is IN
auestionably stronger physically than any
man who has held the title, at the same
time being faster and more scientific than
most men OF his weight.
Those who follow the latter belief point
to the fact that no material can now be
found to oppose Jeffries save champions
Of decade ago. They assert that this in
dfcates a downward trend IN affairs pugi-
listic.
Still others take a middle ground. They
believe that the decadence among heavy
