Spectat Dispatch to The CAtcago Tribune, St. Pacn, Minn, May 24.—The Eastern papers contain a good many signs of anxtous Interest In the prospects for agricultural pro- duetion in the Northwest the present season, and this interest is justified by the peculiar conditions under which production must be achieved. ‘The long and severe winter of 1881 affects the situntion this senson In threo important ways. ‘The snow blockade pre- vented in many sections the usual shipments of grain during the winter and Increased the anwunt of wheat loft In farmers’ hands this apring.. Tho severe season discouraged and impoverished farmers {n many places, and the acrenge of grain will probably be dimin- ished by this cause, Finally, the Inte spring and the enormous bulk of snow, whose melt- ing was prolonged almost to the begining of the present month, has delayed the seed- ing of wheat in some parts of the State, and eqused a larger part of the farm aren of tha State to be reserved for later and less critical crops.
