set back to all vegetation. Wheat and
rye have generally made no advancement
and some fields are being plowed up for
corn. Grass and pastures have prac-
tically made no growth, and stock will
have to be fed until May. Stock is in
fair condition, considering the general
scarcity Of feed. No gardening has been
done. Some early sown clover has been
badly damaged by the severe freeze. The
weather being favorable and the ground
in good condition, plowing for corn has
been pushed vigorously. Cherries. peach
es. pears and some early apples have
been killed in the southern section by

that they have been much injured in
