dry, but still do not think there is any
reason for anxiety. The grass Is coming
up fairly well, though somewhat short for
this season. What we need just now is
a good warm rain for a few days. I no
ticed this morning as I was coming to
Omaha that a peach orchard between
Irvington and South Omaha was In full
bloom. 1t was a beautiful picture and
means a big crop II a bad frost does not
intervene within the next few weeks. We

a month past and a vast amount OF pota-
toes have been planted up IN our bailiwick
We always plant potatoes up there on ST.
Patrick's day.
