was estimated as high as 50 per
cent of the crop in some places.
The first ten days in April the
farm work progressed rapidly
with the soil in excellent condition.
Spring wheat is about all sown and
early fields are coming up nicely.
Oat seeding is about finished in
southern counties and well ad
vanced in northern. Early sown
fields are up nicely. Winter
wheat lived through the winter
and is almost uniformly rep orted
as looking fine. The Hessian fly
is reported present in a few cases ,
but as yet no damage is apparent.
Grass started early and pastures
afforded a living for cattle two
weeks earlier than in the average
season. Plowing for corn has be
gun in southern counties. Plum
and apricot trees are beginning to
bloom in southeastern counties.

merits of paint value than any

They found it possessed greater
spreading qualities , lasted longer
and held its color better. They will
issue a written guarantee with ev
ery can of paint sold by them and
if it is not entirely satistactory in
every way , return the certificate
of guarantee and they will furnish

of the merits of Pattens Sun Proof
