CROP REPORT,
Farmers in this vicinity have
near)v completed seeding. The

neive the seed. and farmers all say
that they never saw land work
better. The spring grain is coming
up nicely and is looking well, but
s erne fields of flax have been frozen
out 1.y the recent cold spells. With
warm weather there would be a
rapid growth and crops should be
good. ]fall wheat is an exception,
'however, as it is badly winter kill-
ecL Some fields look good and if
favorable weather comes on should
turn out fairly well.. Planting
potatoes and root crops is noir in
cinder and farmers aro buss* at it.
Grass is veryshort yet, but cattle
have been turned out as most of
the barns are empty. Prospects
are good for a heavy crop of all
kinds of fruits, The show of buds
is immense and ttn.tess caught b;'
later, frosts the prospects are, that
this will be a record year for pears,
cherries, plums and apples
