"Wheat seeding is finished and
barley, corn and flax are being
planted. The wheat acreage has
been considerably reduced from
that CT last year. With the three

alfalfa planted with nurse crop.
When planted without nurse crops.

condition" j. C.. Russell. Beach.

"Some late durum wheat is still
being planted. Early seeded wheat
is in excellent condition. Potato
planting was general during the
week; also planting of corn. Dat
seeding is general. Flax seeding
has just commenced, and indica-
tons are that there will be a great
ly increased acreage. Winter rye
is in excellent condition and spring
rye is showing up nicely. Sweet
clover and alfalfa are in good con-
dition; also native pastures. There
will be large increase in the
sweet clover acreage. Cold, rainy
weather which prevailed during the
week is holding grasshoppers in
check. IN. C. Thomas, Towner.
