eastern Connecticut.
Senator Macdonald presided at the
hearing and at his request the various

MOISTURE IS.
SUFFICIENT TO
START CROPS
Survey of Northwestern Ter.
ritOry Indicates Good Start
For Production

The first crop report of Van Dus-
cn-Harrington company, Minneapolis,
covering the Northwest follows:
This is our first report of the sea-
son and covers briefly the crop con-
ditiOns in the States of Minnesota,
North Dakota, South Dakota and
Montana.
Our reports indicate there is suf-
ficicnt moisture over the entire ter
ritory to start crop. During the
month of March we had general
rains in the southern districts, and
heavy SHOWS in the Northern. This
moisture has thoroughly soaked the
ground.
This Spring seems to show many
of the same characteristics as last
year and seeding apparently is being
started about the same time, and un-
der much the same conditions. The
weather during the past week has
been cold and the ground has froz-
en- each night. No work has been
done in the fields in the Northern
areas and not Until late in the day
in the Central!
Seeding has become quite general
in Southern Minnesota and parts of
South Dakota. Some of our reports
indicate that so percent Of the wheat
has been sown in these districts and
large percentage of oats and bar
ley.
In Northern South Dakota and
Southern North Dakota seeding has
started, but has not become general,
while in the extreme Northern parts,
no work has been done. There is
ample seed wheat in the territory
to meet all requirements.
It is rather early to receive de-
finite reports as to the condition of
winter rye. Last fall, however, the
soil was inclined to be a little dry
when seeding was being done, and
it is possible that there may have
been some damage. Il
There are some complaints of the
shortage of farm help in North Da-
kota. The increased demand of the
industrial ccnters has attracted
much of the labor that formerly mi
