later than usual. rhe week just
past, as we'll as the preceding one,
had too cold nights and too cloudy
dsys for crops to grow appreciably,
consequently the grass and wheat
are but slightly improved, But
because there were only few light
showers, the weather was exceed
ingly favorable for blowing, seed
ing and planting, and much of such
work has been done. The spring
seeding of oats, barley and wheat
is in various stages in different To-
calities. In some it is only begun,
in others, we'll under way or nearly
finished. Some of the earliest sown
has come up. Only small amount
of potato planting has been done.
Some gardens have been planted,
but seeds have not terminated well
owing to cold and wet soil. Young
hop vines are nicely started. Plums
and cherries are just coming into
bloom. Nothing has been injured,
and with the advent of few warm
days all vegetation will make rapid
advancement.
