much Of the acreage that was not
seeded to wheat.
The farmers of the spring wheat
and durum area of the Northwest
did reduce average of wheat by about
10 per cent, following the advice of
the Federal Farm Board which was
largely ignored in the winter wheat
sections. They planted the largest
acreage to flax in the history of the
country. The price of flax declined
almost as sharply as that of wheat,
with the quotations dropping from
around $500 a bushel to about half
of that figure.
No Definite Substitute Suggested
mo definite substitute as to what
to plant has been brought forward
this year. In general, farmers are adj
vised to prepare their land in better
shape and to summer fallow the Is
to 80 per cent of land which they
have been accustomed to seeding to
wheat SO that another year they can
have that land in better condition.
Experiences in 1880 showed that land
which had been summer-fallowed the
year before produced larger yields
Of better quality grain than did land
which had been seeded every year"

Light Snow Falls

March came in like a lamb, and
most folks were glad as that meant
moisture towards the end of the

more than three days old before the
weather man decided to let old boreas
take a change for awhile. Early on
Wednesday morning the snow com
menced very gently, and it was mild
enough to keep the roads very slim
perry all day. Motorists suffered more
from it than all others combia ed. 1t
showed all day, and as we write this
just beofre closing time Wednesday
evening there is about two inches of
snow blanketing the ground. Every
one smiles except the motorists. The
farmers and business men are jubi-
liant over the promise Of moisture to
start the crops; the coal men are
happy that they can sell one or two
more loads of coal; the kiddies are
happy because they can at least try
out their sleds that came at Christ
mas time. The wind is in the north
and we hope we get a nice batch
of moisture before it quits, as the
is out Of the ground and when
the now melts it will settle into the
earth instead of running away.
