The cold weather which pre-
vailed for several days OF last week
and this has not been beneficial to
crops that have not ripened. 1t is
feared that the late sown flax will
not mature, and the extremely cold
nights Will surely damage the spring
crops. But Montana is not alone in
these cold days. In the two Dako-
tas it has not only been cold but the
rainy period set in earlier there than
usual and the farmers are finding it
very difficult to harvest their grain.
1t is predicted that the wheat yield
there will be cut down considerably
by the grain becoming too ripe and
Smelling during the cutting of same.
