The Spring grain seed is not yet all in the ground. In fact, on many farms there is none or very little od the seed in the ground and pros- pects of an early start are none too bright, We dohnbt if the crop outlook, on the whole, has ever been less favorable' at this season. True, pasture and hay fields are looking wonderful. Even. .here, though, there ie. a catch. The soil is $o full of water that the stock is doing much trarnpling damage. Fall wheat, too, is on the whole looking good, though some low spots are be- ginning to turn color a bit, and less moisture would be better.

The situation, is unfavorable indeed, brut there Li nothing that can be done about it. • A. few years ago we got into quite an, argtunen;t with a 'civil engineer concerning the effect fore's' and water conservation would have On the rainfall. That was in a season of extreine drought, and our engin- eer 'corresponden't emphatically .stated that the drought was caused by the wholesale destruction of our fora s' and the Pact that our streams and rivers so rapidly carried the water away. We have always been enthusiastic concerning forest conservation, and stilt1 are; but it has al'way's been our contention that foresge or lakes or weter had no ,appreciable effect upon, the rainfall, and May' 1940 has been shriking example in favor of our argument. ,Surely the little. bit of tree planting that has been done cannot be Held' responsible ilor all this rain.
