BACK GIVES OUT.

Crop Bulletin.

The past week was very fav-
orable for farm work and nor
NAL growth of vegetation.
There was an average excess of
3 to 8 degrees IN the daily mean
temperature, and generally
sufficient rainfall to moisten the
surface and quicken growth of
grain and grass. Except in a
few localities the rainfall has
not been sufficient to materially
delay 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 advance
ment 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 acre
age will be increased. Oats and
other spring grain crops are
making a fairly good stand.
Pastures and meadows are do
ing we'll. Except peaches and
raspberries, the prospect is very
good for an abundant yield Of
fruit. A considerable acreage
Of potatoes is being planted.
