BACKWARD SEASON.
Ground Unfit for Seed and Farmers
Are Discouraged.

Hold to whatever opinion one
likes regarding the month of April,
this year, one must acknowledge
that May, so far, has been ''un-
usual"
The continued cold of the past
five weeks has created serious con-
dition for Wisconsin farmers, es-
pecially those in the north two
thirds of the state.
Seeding was late, and is not all
done yet; and much that was done
in April might better have been left
undone, for the iseed has rotted in
the ground. ReplOwing will be
necessary, and then the land will be
planted with corn and potatoes.
This is serious business for farm
ers; for it costs about So to 81 an
acre Ito put in crop of wheat or
other ''small grain" 1t will cost as
much more to replant to corn or
potatoes; and either one Of these
crops that starts in with charge
of from $12 to $14 an acre against it.,
doesn't promise much in the way of
profit, especially in a season when
snow covers the ground on the 10th
of May.
Another serious matter is the
scarcity of forage for livestock.
There is no more grass than there
was in January, and it is lucky
farmer who has anything In his
haymows or silos for his COWS.
Another serious matter is the
winter killing of much of the clover
crops, which was principal de-
pendence for hay this summer. In
sections of the northern part of the
state this is all gone and the land
will have to be planted to some
thing else.
Ten days of real May weather
will change the entire aspect OF
things. And it is coming soon, or
this will be a hard year for Wiscon-
sin.

coolest IN twenty-six years. IF
summer will produce a month which
is the hottest in that same period of
time it will tend to even matters up.
