1t was the warmest of the season,
with plenty of sunshine, and while the

few showers would now be beneficial,
but the growth of vegetation has not
slackened on that account.
Oats and Corn.
Sowing oats is almost finished ex-
cept in the most northern counties In
the southern part of the state the crop
is up in many fields and the stand is
good. Very little corn has been plant
ed yet, but the ground is being pre-
pared rapidly and in a few more days
planting will be general. The acreage
promises to be larger than usual.
Wheat Looking Fine.
Reports in regard to wheat are
nearly all very encouraging. 1t made
excellent color In some western
counties it is reported to be too rank
and in just a few counties west of the
middle of the state there are localities
where the prospect is only fair, prob
ably not more than for half a crop.
Condition of Fruit.
So far there has been nothing to
damage fruit this spring and the
outlook is flattering. Peaches. plums,
apricots, pears and many berries are
in full bloom and apples are begin
ming to bloom. In the southern part
spraying for the first time is about
finished; in the more northerly cOun-
ties it is just beginning.
Other Crops.
Alfalfa has made exceptionally rap
id growth and the first cutting is not
far off. Pastures are doing fine and
will be ready to use in another week.
Early potatoes are being planted in
nearly all counties.
