FARM CONDITIONS GOOD.
Secretary True of Agricultural Board
Finds Crops Generally Favorable,
but Are Not Gratifying.

MADISON, Wis, May Special. /
Secretary John NJ. True OF the state
board of agriculture has issued his first
crop report. Farm conditions in this
state are generally favorable, but not
gratifying.
Reports show that in the southern di-
vision of the state and i'll many parts of the
middle division during March the ground
was free from snow and froze TO a sufficient
depth to seriously injure the clover crop,
especially fields that were cut last season
Winter wheat was also considerably in
Jured, though this crop Is OF much less ina
portance tnan clover.
Fruit trees and shrubbery generally came
through the winter in good condition and
the prospects are, at date. excellent for
heavy bloom upon all varieties.
The season is some ten days later than
the last and not all small grain fields are
sown in the southern and central divisions
Of the state, while farm work in the north
ern division is somewhat more backward
frequent complaint is made that ground is
too dry for proper handling
More than the usual acreage of blowing
was done last fall, and much grain has
been put in upon last years corn and pota
to fields by use of disc harrows instead of
plow
Pastures are in good condition. and with
warm weather will in due time give sufl
Gent feed for stock.
We note that many farmers are inficting
injury both upon their fields and cattle by
already allowing their animals to run upon
fields just becoming green.
NO widespread or even general disease is
reported among live stock, though the con-
dition of farm animals is not generally
good, possibly attributable to the poor quai-
lty of last years hay crop.
From present indications the acreage of
spring sown grains will be equal to that of
last year, except spring wheat, which con,
tinues TO diminish.
The tendency will be to plant a smaller
acreage of potatoes than last year. while in
the tobacco districts the acreage will be In
creased.
Sugar beets will be extensively planted
with a large increase of acreage in Dane
and other counties tributary to new beet
sugar factory at Madison
Dairy products continue to bear good
prices, and this industry will continue to
grow. notwithstanding the serious menace
of tuberculosis among cattle in many parts
of the state.
From letters of inquiry sent out we esti-
mate the condition of the following crops
100 representing a good normal condition.
winter wheat S31a, rye 93 clover 81, TIM
othy meadows 96.
FROM the same source gain the follow.

ment of iodine and a bath in the lake.
