are growing finely and are of good
color. Winter wheat was improved.
Rapid progress was made in the
planting of corn and in some local
tiles this work is nearly finished. In
a few localities the corn has begun
to come up. Potato planting is al
most finished and some potatoes are
now up. Gardens are generally do
ing well. Flax is being seeded in
some localities. Alfalfa and mead
ows are much improved. Pastures
and ranges have made good growth
and stock is now feeding thereon.
Stock is much improved. Fruit trees
are in blossom.
