Seeding Still Backward Rains during the week have add­ ed to the delay in seeding on many farms. In some of the areas some farmers haven’t a single acre sown with spring grain. In some areas where rain has been less intermit­ tant and on higher ground some farmers have all of their grain in. The guess is still about fifty per cent, of crops in. There is very little garden stuff planted. Farm­ ers are still living in hopes although the season is getting late.
