CORN PLANTING BEGUN
Crop Report Sent Out BY n. J. Wagon,
Northwestern Road.

Corn planting has commenced in
a number of sections in South Dakota
and is well started in Southern Min
ensota, according to the weekly crop
bulletin issued by H. J. Wagon, dist
riot freight and passenger agent in
this city of the Chicago and North
western railway, covering conditions
along its lines west of Winona. Mr..
Wagon maintains that crop condi-
tions as whole continue very salts
factory and more favorable than any
previous year. The report states:
while the cool nights and cloudy
days of the early part Of last week
have retarded the growth of small
grain in some districts, no damage
of any kind has been done. Reports
received from the territory and per-
sonal observations indicate small
grains in fine shape in every way.
There will no doubt be larger acre
age this year and it will show con-
siderable increase over first esti-
mates.
