Sunday and Monday were warm and
pleasant and the ground was drying
r apidly and farmers were beginning to
think about getting on the plowed
ground within few days. Tuesday
and Wednesday it rained the later day
being real rainy day and on Thursday
morning as we write there is a regula-
ton Manitoba blizzard raging outdoors
with considerable fall of snow. This
will undoubtedly delay seeding for at
least week, but the ground will be
grateful for the moisture. The ice in
the Red river gradually disappeared
and made final run on Tuesday. We
do not remember spring when the
water was so low when the ice went
out. 1t is raising some now, under the
influence of the rains.
