ST. PAUL.
st. Paul, Feb. 2S.-Farmers and
business men of the northwest are
smiling today as they plow through
the drifts left by the worst storm
experienced in this section in many
years. The storm did millions of
dollars worth of damage to crops
according to agricultural experts,
but the snow blanket was worth
millions more to the farmers in the
moisture assured which was sorely
needed. May wheat is up to its
high point for nine months and
hogs topped the s11 mark. The
temporary snow blockade undoubt-
edly contributed to the rise in
prices of farm products here but
the upward trend has grown more
apparent for some time. Bankers
and business men of the twin-cities
assert that the confidence of the
farmer has been restored, that he
is coming back as buyer and that
the prospects for 1922 have greatly
improved in consequence.
Thousands of men gained tenn
porary employment in clearing the
