March Crop Report.

The Weather Bureaus summary of crop
condition for March is as follows:
From the Upper Mississippi Valley to
the Middle Atlantic coast the season is
generally reported backward, although
the average temperature for the month in
these districts was generally in excess of
the normal In the Southern States the
month has been mild and favorable for
farming operations. The northern por-
ton of the Central Gulf States, however,
the central valleys, and the greater part
of the Lake region suffered from exces-
sive rains, and Western Texas and the
Southern plateau region from drought.
From Northern Wisconsin westward to
the Rocky Mountains the ground is still
fr Il II deeply and no farm work has been
done On the Pacific Coast the month
has been cold and wet, wholly preventing
farm work in Washington and Oregon.
The highest water known in many years,
flooding thousands Of acres of valuable
grain land, occurred in Northern Califor-
IL
"Over the western portion of the win
ter wheat area the reports indicate an inn
provement in the condition of winter
wheat, and in some of the more easterly
sections slight improvement is also indi-
Gated As at the close of the previous
month, the least favorable reports are re-
ceiyed from the central and eastern dis
tricts. In Indiana the crop has been
badly washed on the high lands and much
injured by floods on low lands, but where
not thus damaged it is healthy and grow
ing. In the western portions of the
wheat area of Nebraska and Kansas the
crop has suffered from drought.
"Gcod progress has been made with oat
seeding in the Southern States with the
exception of Western Texas, where it has
been too dry, and the general outlook fol
this crop is promising. Seeding is in pro
gress as far north as Southern Missouri
and Kansas, but no seeding has beer
done farther north.
''In the Gulf States much Corn has been
planted and good stands are reported
Some planting has been done in the south
ern portions of Kansas and Missouri
Preparations for corn planting in the
Central Mississippi and Ohio valleys and
Middle Atlantic States have progressed
slowly"
