They are all predicting a trout wheat crop through Adams and neighboring counties and they can seo no reason why land values should not Increase inaterlnlly thin spring. Snow of firent Vnluc. Hnraklng ot tho stitrin, Mr. MohlT designated It as probably the most sevcro of the winter, and in his opinion the fall of snow will be worth a vast sum to tho agricultural districts of the state. From Julesburc east n blanket of snow from six to fifteen Inches thick covers the en- tire area, while west Into Colorado and Wyoming, though less, there has been enough to bo of material benefit. While the plow has drifted, In tho stnlk and stubble fields and on the ground where winter wheat Is growing It hns been held and enough remains to thoroughly w.t the roll down several Inches. Mr. Mohler found that while Nebraska was burled under the snow the precipita tion through northern Kansas was equ ally as great, though there It was either lain or sleet In Kansas the storm ex tended from the Missouri river to west ot Junction City, a distance of more than 130 milts and south Into Oklahoma.
