A large number also are of the opionion that the rain and snow ‘| of the present week have assured an abundance of moisture for spring work. | Very little plowing has been done so far in this immediate vicinity, but with the coming of good weather spring work ought to be finished up in a short time, as most of the land is already in crop, a large amount having been put in summer fallow last fall. While the present prospects look bright for a bumper crop, | this by no means assures the prairie of one, as last year the prospects were 100 per cent, but still owing to no rains in June, the crops when harvested fell far below the normal average. If the prairie is fortunate enough to receive its usual heavy rains in June, a bumper crop is almost certain. When the June rains come; if they do; which is ‘about the time grasshoppers hatch, thousands of these de-| structive creatures, which did | thousands of dollars of damage last year, will be killed by the| rain and cold weather. | Prospects at this time are in| deed bright for a fine crop, if | the opinions of some of our lead- | personally see before leaving] ing farmers are to be taken as a forecast. their old home.
