The past week has been very favor
able for growth, but in most sections
of the State farm work has been delay
ed by the rains.
Heavy rains occurred, especially in
the southern portion of the State, early
in the week, flooding low lands and
washing grain fields in many localities
On Thursday severe local thunderstorm
were prevalent over the State. accompa-
MED with high winds and in many
localities hail. The damage by hail was
generally slight. Vegetation is we'll
advanced, except along the eastern
border Of the state, where the influence
of the Lake has kept the temperature
below that required for rapid growth.
The soil ia thoroughly saturated with
moisture and warm weather with full
sunshine Is needed to bring crops for
wardrapidly.
Light frosts were reported from some
! localities. but no material damage re-
eulted
Winter Grains Winter rye is heading
out well, with good growth of straw
in most sections. Wheat is making
rapid advancement toward maturity.
These crops are generally in very
promising condition.
Spring Grains, Oats, barley, spring
wheat and spring rye are generally in
excellent condition except on low lands,
where an over supply of moisture has re-
tarded growth.
Corn The planting of corn is generally
completed in the southern counties and
early paintings are up. Noattempt has
been made to cultivate corn ~ the soil
is too wet TO work, and the fields are be-
coming weedy In the central and north
ern sections planting is well under way,
but not yet completed. Considerable
repautiug has been necessary on account
of the continued cold, wet weather
Potatoes Early paintings are coming
up nicely, but the bulk of the late crop
has not yet been planted The ground
is prepared, and with few days of
warm, dry weather large acreage will
be put in.
Grass and Pastures have made rapid
progress during the week and large
hay crop now seems assured. Clover is
especially heavy. Pastures are furnish
ing an abundance of feed.

generally prepared and some planting
has been done. The plants rs u rule are
strong aud healthy.
Minor Crops The sowing of sugar
beets has been delayed by the rains.
Preparations for buckwheat are well ad-
vanced Gardens are generally in good
condition.
Fruit: Strawberries are in very

the committee made him tired be-
cause they would not report out a
transportation rate bill. The senator
is not the only one that is tired.
The American people are so tired

great deal of satisfaction.

close to the years studies, Mrs.
Little having brought into play both
clear and wide vision of Japan s
future, which is radiant with promise,
if she accept Christianity. Mrs.

Hon. James A. Tawney of the
First Minnesota congressional district
was appointed by Speaker Cannon
Of the national house to the position
of chairman of the committee on
appropriations, regarded as the best
position within the gift of the
speaker. The Hon. James T. Nc
Cleary, the member from the Second
Minnesota district, was appointed to
the craftsmanship of the committee
on library, a very important COM
mittee Of that branch of the legis-
lature. With both Messrs. Tawney
and McCleary landing important
chairmanships, and the other mem
bers from this state given good
committee assignments, it looks as
though Your Uncle Joe had designs
on Minnesota and the coming presi-
Dental bee. We congratulate the

them.

The actuary of the Prudential
Life Insurance Co. of Newark, N.
j., of which United States Senator
Dryden is president, reports that
the cost of maintaining the company
is greater than the sum paid on
policies. The indications are that
the conservative (?) Prudential com
pany is about in as bad hands as the
three New York companies, and a
new management is needed at that
point.
