Dandelions are creatures of the
sun. When the sun shines these
flowers expand to their most elaboF-
ate dimensions. The landscape is a
sheen of gold. During the long rain
storm of this week dandelions were
completely hidden from view. The
season has been peculiarly favorable
for the growth of these hardy plants
and we never before saw them so
profuse. They are so numerous
they are pest, menace to grass
in lawns and meadows. But in
week or ten days these flowers will
all disappear and their "ghosts"
will haunt the atmosphere.

Everybody is complaining of the
continued cold weather and the
backwardness of vegetation. But
we of this section are better off in
crop prospects than the people far
Their south. There vegetation got an
early start and froze. Here vegeta-
ton made no advance until after
the heavy freezings and so is prob
able, the season being SO far ad-
vanced, that crops will come on
safely. Grass is growing nicely
now, corn and potatoes are coming
up all right, and the weather has
been favorable for small grains,
