having been utilized by farmer all
over the state to hurry spring work.
However. tho small grain crops have /,
little later start than usual. owing 20
the unusually cold spring.
At Castlcwood. where heavy snow
fell last week, 1t is stated the seeding
has been finished and that the snow
melting on the newly sown field j
moistened the ground and the fields
will soon Be green.
In Brule county seeding was finished
the middle of last week. At Willow
the grain has shown no growth because
of the late spring. About Faulkton
wheat Is practically all In. In Bea'.le
county 1t Is said rain is needed to start
the grain. AT De Smet the soil has
been in fine condition and tho farmers
have been able to make better pro-
gress than II the weather had been
warm. However. 1t is undeniable that
a soaking rain would be beneficial In
almost all parts OF the state.
