Farm work was further delayed by rain and wet ground, but in some lo calities, especially in the northern part, conditions for plowing and seed ing were greatly improved by the lat ter part of the week and this work made good progress. Early sown wheat and oats were coming up and looking well in most sections, but growth was slow. Winter wheat is doing farily well,] but is spotted in localities. Rye is fair to good. I The planting of potatoes and gar dens has been greatly delayed. Mea-1 dows and pastures are coming slow-1 Iv but they are generally in promising' condition.
