The slow thawing weather following
one of the heaviest snOwfalls Of years
has already prccluded any possibility
of an early, or even a moderately early
seeding in North Dakota this year.
Nevertheless the situation is looked
upon by experienced farmers with no
great degree of concern; while the
heavy precipitation OF moisture, and
slow melting OF snow. which permits
the moisture to thoroughly permeate
the ground, are considered as adding
materially to the chances for fair
yield in all lines of farm produce in
the state. A leading Grand Forks
paper is believed to voice the general
sentiment of unconcern over present
delays. in a recent editorial in which
it says:
prospects for early seeding are. Of
course, gone. 10 be early seeding
should have been in operation now.
The outlook now is that all the wheat
have to be sown in May. This does
not mean what it once did. however
In the early days. when the settlers

area went to be seeded the work must

time because the farmers as rule are
well equipped with stock, and they are
dcvoting more attention than formerly
to summer fallow and root and forage
crops. Practically all the seeding in
the country can be done in three
weeks, and even two weeks good
weather will clean up most OF it..
Farmers as rule succeeded in get
ting great deal of plowing done last
fall, and this will be a help.
OF course, the lower lands of the
valley counties will show consider
able acreage which cannot he sOwn as
early as it should be. owing to con
tinued high water: though in the high
er lands of the state it is claimed that
there was last week already a small
amount of seeding in operation. With

late crops. however. it is believed that
there should he small cause for appre-
hcnsion on account OF belated seeding
as far it might be caused by weather
conditions up to the present time. The
farmers Of the state feel. on the whole.
that the average productivcness OF
their lands has been such rs to in
sr!rc hopefulncss. and it is seldom
that they approach new season with
other than favorable anticipations.

der should be made as to the dispos-
ton of the property seized under the
search warrant. This matter is not
before us. The motion under review
was to set aside the search warrant
and ell proceedings under it. 1t did
not ask that the property be returned.
The warrant under which the sheriff
made search and seized was void. 1t
afforded him no protection. His acts
were as il done without any warrant
whatever. 1t cannot be looked to in
any sense as jurisdiction for an un
lawful seizure or withholding OF prop
erty. That he dispossesscd another of
his property unlawfully, is patent, but
the question whether the beer can be
held as evidence against the appellant
in the main action, notwithstanding
the unlawful means by which the law
officer secured it's possession is not
for us to determine upon this record.
