The heaviest single fa4l ot snow, perhaps for the last fifty years, tl greets us this morning measuring on a level from 14 to 15 inches. y This in some measure stops the progress of the agriculturist for a while. The preparation for crops has d been carried on with unutisual zeal k up to this time. Most of the stub- S ble land has been turned and most of the briars and brush cleared off, P and a general disposition is mani- L fested on all sides to work the sur- li face of mother earth to the best possible advantage for a full crop. The wheat and rye crops are badly winter-killed, and perhaps one-half of thenm may be plowed and planted in other erops, corn, cotton, peas and sorghum cane.
