Fruit Crop Outlook Good

Reports received by the Coopera-
tive Crop Reporting Service indicate
that the fruit crop this year will be
somewhat above normal unless it is
subjected to unexpected unfavorable
conditions later in the season. There
was some damage caused by severe
winter weather in certain districts
on the western slope, but so far the
loss from late frosts has been negli-
BILE. In portions of the peach grow
ing districts on the western slope the
crop will be short because of the Sc
we're winter, but generally the outlook
is for a crop of normal proportions.
The outlook for apples is excellent
on the western slope and in the Can
on City district, where most of the
commercial production of the state is
made. In most districts the cherry
blossom is reported light and present
Indications are that the crop will be
somewhat below normal

Spring Work Advancing Favorably

Spring Work Advancing FavOrably
As a result of the exceptionally
favorable weather for plowing and
planting in all sections of the state
during the past two weeks farmers
have made slight revisions in their
plans in most districts, according to
reports received by the Cooperative
Crop Reporting Service, and the re-
suit will be slightly larger acreages
of such late crops as corn, beans,
sorghums, ETC., than were originally
planned. Spring work has advanced
very rapidly and favorably during the
last half of May and planting is now
nearly completed. Pastures have i'm
proved rapidly, but are needing rain
in many districts. Winter wheat ia
generally in fine condition and
spring wheat is making good pro
gress.

No. 1t is not silly to love your teacher
IL you are sensible about 1t.
1t would be polite to offer to take her
home and in any case pay her carfare.
While 1t is the thing to stand aside

enter car first, It is also the thing to
precede her in leaving the car and to
stand ready to take her hand and help
her alight, so you can, of course, pay the
