A summary of the weather and crop situation for the state, for the weeKing ending April 18,1904 is made by the government weather bureau at Bismarck as follows: The present season is opening more unfavorably than any for a long time past. While some little seeding has been done, mostly in the central and western portions of the state, still as a rule, nothing has been done in the thickly settled counties toward putting in the crops. On the 7th, 8th and 9th of the present month a very severe storm passed over the state, being especialy so in the eastern and southern, sec tions, followed by unusually cold weather, and at the present time those portions are covered by snow ranging from a few inches to six and ten feet in depth, mainly in the shape of large drifts. Most of the law lands are covered with water, and1 all reports agree that it will be from two to three weeks, with favorable weather, before seeding can com menced. On Thursday of last week anther storm passed over the eastern sections, snow from two to six inches deep falling, while the temperature ranged from 16 to 24 degrees below the freezing point. For the week ending April 20, 1903 the report showed that wheat seed« ing was in progress in all parts of the state and was more advanced in the eastern and southern parts than in the western and northern parts. The weather had been favorable and the soil was in excellent condition generally. In some few places oats and rye had been sown but little else than wheat had been put in. Grass was well started. For the week ending April 21, 1902 the report was that tha season was more backward than usual. There were heavy snow storms in March and a great deal of low land was cov ered with water. No precipation of any amount had been seen during the month in_any part of the state. Wheat seeding was well under way in the southern part of the state, but had only commenced in the cen tral part.
