Crop Reports

The Northwest has had very un-
scasonablc weather for a week past,
according to the weekly crop report
issued by the Van Dusen Harrington
company Of Minneapolis. 1t has been
cold, with temperatures below frccz-
ing at some points. There have
been nA,mbcr of heavy, general
rains, later turning to snow, in north.
western North Dakota and eastern
Montana. In places it was 10 INCHES
deep.
Farmers have done but little seed
ing the past week. In order to COM
pletc it there must be warm, drying
late for wheat, especially in the Red
River Valley and some northern dis.
tricts Of North Dakota and Montana.
Conditions in South Dakota arc
very promising. Practically all
seeding is completed with the cx-
ception Of some coarse grains. There
is abundant moisture everywhere
and the grain has fine start. Dur
ing the past week there were some
very high winds, but with no mater
ial damage. Corn planting has been
delayed in the state because of the
wet ground.
In Minnesota, with favorable wealth
er, the seeding Of small grain can be
completed in few days except in
the Red River Wiley and some Of the
northern points. In these wet dis
tricts from so to 80 per cent Of the
wheat has been sown.
In Montana conditions arc spotted.
AS previously reported, in the south
crn and eastern districts most of the
seed is in the ground, but in some
of the valleys and in the north it is
considerably behind because of the
wet condition of the soil.
There is still AN uncertainty as to
the flax acreage in the Northwest.
Some farmers will undoubtedly sow
it later, il they are not able to seed
wheat within short time. A small
amount of flax has been seeded up
to this time.
Winter rye, with few exceptions,
indicates condition considerably
above the average.
At present all parts of the North
west have sufficient moisture. This
condition has not prevailed in many
years. Where grain has been sown
1t shows good termination and should
make rapid growth.
On account Of the delay during the
past week, the season is about two
weeks late. With 50 much moisture

where he has about three weeks
work.
Commercial travellers in the ter
ritory recently visited by Mr.. Saylcr
report business in a greatly improved
condition over the corresponding
period a year ago, he says. Crop
conditions are very favorable, spring
wheat being up from four to six
inches in South Dakota, with a good
stand. The alfalfa crop there is about
a foot high, with large acreage.
Many hogs are being fed in that part
Of the country, and the dairy bust
ness is growing rapidly. Moisture
in the ground is sufficient to carry
the crops for at least 30 days or
more, Sayler writes.
Grain Knee High in Nebraska
Wheat and rye through Nebraska
is knee high, and alfalfa is nearly
ready for the first cutting, Sayler
says. Corn is being planted, and
the orchards are all in bloom.
Crops in. Missouri are not quite as

BUTTER
MARKET

Chicago, May Is. -tP)- Despite
larger stocks, butter prices advanced
late in the week, buying demand
showed considerable Improvement and
some dealers were placing part Of
their receipts in storage, particularly
at Chicago. Quality of arrivals were
considerably better than for some
time past.
Declines during the early part of
the week apparently carried prices to
level which operators deemed 81
safe basis for this season of the year.
Confluence in the situation was more
general, and receivers were less
anxious to sell goods on arrival.
From u statistical standpoint, the
markets are in fairly firm posi-
ton. Stocks Of butter in storage at
the four markets at the close of the
week are about six million pounds
