IN BENSON BAILIWICK.
Crops Retarded by Cold--Socfai
and Personal Items.

Benson, March 23:-Spring is sup
posed to begin about the 2lst OF
March, when the vertical rays OF the
sun fall on the equator, but instead,
that day we were in the midst OF
winter and on Sunday morning fol-
lowed pendant mass of ice formed
by the freezing of drops of dripping
water, hung from all trees and caves
of houses. On the corresponding
date of last year the oat crop was
prematurely grown, the farmers
were grazing them down by live
stock to keep them from growing.
The tobacco plants were growing in
advance of the season and some
were transplanted in the month OF
March. At the present writing
there is dearth of tobacco plants IN
this section, caused by the extremely
cold west wind following the recent
snow. The few plants that have sur
yived the weather are very small.
We have made an inquiry in this
neighborhood and have visited a
good many beds, and our opinion is
there will be short crop and very
late setting out of the few plants
that are left. Of course there are
always exceptions. Some farmers
favorably situated have sufficiency
of plants, but withal. they are very
small.
Very little corn planting was
done last week. but during the re-
manning days of this month there
will be many acres put in. 1t has
been an old saying among planters
that corn planted in March makes
the best, and regardless of phases
of the moon," some corn must be
planted during this month.

lightfully entertained at her hospl-
