MAY CUT WHEAT CROP.
Backward Spring Has Greatly De
layed Seeding in the North.

Iayed Seeding in the North.
st. Paul-Throughout northern
Minnesota, North Dakota and Mani
toba, and in some sections of South
Dakota seeding has been greatly de-
layed by the inclemency Of the wealth
er which has prevailed during April
and so far during the present month.
Successive snowstorms in North Da-
kota have left the ground in such
condition that 1t has been impossible
to put the seeders to work. Probably
not more than a third of the usual
acreage has been seeded in Manitoba.
In North Dakota. northern Minnesota
and northern South Dakota the per-
centage has been somewhat greater,
but is still far below normal.
However, farmers feel only little
apprehension. The ground is full of
moisture, but few days OF sunshine
will put it in good condition for
planting.
Grain growers are confident that IL
the bulk of the seeding can be done
by the last of this week or the middle
of next they will have no reason to
fear a reduced crop.

dence Is submitted to him showing
that there has been miscarriage OF
Justice for or against Meyer and Hay
wood, awaiting trial at Boise, Idaho,
charged with the murder of former
Governor Steunenberg, he will bring
such evidence to the attention of the
attorney general for such action, IL
any, as it may be in the power OF the
federal authorities TO take.
The communication was the formal
reply OF the president to the union

the president and requested him to
set forth In general his attitude
toward the accused men and spe-
officially why he had referred to Meyer
and Haywood as undesirable citi-
GEMS"

John Henry, said the committee had
spent more than, an hour with the
president, at which time the matter
IN hand was thoroughly discussed.
The president signified his intention
Of formally replying in the letter
which the chairman then read. Fol-
lowing the reading there was an ami
mated discussion, during which the
chairman, and Coakley, another men,
Der of the committee, stoutly cham
pioned the attitude of the chief exec
utive. II was finally voted to send
copy of the letter to counsel for
Meyer and Haywood.

DAMAGE EXAGGERATED.
Secretary Wilson Says United States
VIII Have Normal Wheat Yield.


VIII Have Normal Wheat Yield.
Chicago The reports OF damage to
the crops which have been so numer-
Gus Of late. owing 10 the unreasonable
weather and the ravages Of bugs,
have been greatly exaggerated, ac-
cording to James Wilson. secretary of
agriculture, who Is In Chicago.
Spring seeding Is a little back
ward" he said, ION account of the
cold weather, but there Is plenty of
time between now and the last OF
September to grow crop OF all kinds
Of grain. In Minnesota and the Dakotas,
where we get most OF our spring
wheat. seeding has been delayed about
two weeks. but with few days of
warm sunshine planting will be IN
full progress.
AS regards the Canadian north
west. the claims being made that this
years harvest will be seriously al.
minished may have some foundation.
"ln the southwest there have been
numerous reports for the past three
weeks of damage being wrought by
green bugs. These reports OF damage
to the winter wheat have been great
iy exaggerated.
There Is considerable grain grown
between Washington and Chicago. and
from my personal observation OF this
part OF the United States. | can stare,
without any reservation, that never
In my life saw brighter prospects than
those of the present"
