Resent Rains and Winters one~s Give
Farmers Feeling Of opttrsisnS.
Grand Forks, n. D.. March S0.-
North Dakota has sufficient moisture
for Ill present needs The fact that
within the last week practically every
section Of the state has been visited
either by rain or snow has caused a
feeling OF optimism, az the new mois-
ture serves to place the soil In condi-
ton for the spring seeding.
Up to the present time. and since the
snow melted away. 1t has been dusty
in some sections Of the state. and that
fact was principally responsible for a
feeling Of apprehension that the season
would be dry. Since the rains have
come. however. that telling has disap-
peared.
F. NJ. Baker. Of Devils Lake. IL well
pleased with conditions in Ramsey and
adjoining counties.
Our SECTION Of the state had large
amount Of snow last winter" says Mr.
Baker. ''and with the rains we had
last fall served to store up much mois-
ture in the ground. We have enough
moisture for present needs. Tho snow
of the winter. in melting. went right
into the ground. and thsre il very Mt
tie water in sloughs or couleea"

shape said j. e. Davis Of Goodrich, q
banker. The slouglls and coulees are
about half filled with water at this

true that We need some good rains this
spring. the situation at the present
time appears good. The rains and
SHOWS Of the last week have helped to
lay the dust, and with the dust out OF
the afr, 1t is only natural that the
farmers should assume q more opti-
mistic spirit than would prevail when
conditions were not 20 good"
