An increase In the average of the
daily temperature Of about s degrees
is the report Of the weekly crop serv
Ice report for the past week. Condi
tions are very satisfactory for farm
work.
The full report is as follows:
The past week was very favorable
for farm work and normal growth of
vegetation. There was an average ex-
cess of to degrees in the daily mean
temperature, and generally sufficient
rainfall to 1noisten the surface and
quicken growth of grain and grass.
Except in a few localities the rainfall
has not been sufficient to materially de-
lay field work. At the close of the
week the temperature fell very near to
the frost line in northern districts, but
there are no reports Of damage.
Very satisfactory advancement. has
been made in blowing and preparing
ground for corn, and reports from all
districts indicate that a considerable
acreage has been planted under very
good conditions Of soil. The bulk of
the corn area is likely to be planted
earlier than in recent seasons, and
the acreage will be increased Oats
and other spring grain crops are MAX
ing fairly good stand. Pastures and
meadows are doing well. Except
peaches and raspberries, the prospect
is very good for an abundant yield of
fruit. A considerable acreage of pota-
toes is being planted.
