If winter lingers long in the lap of spring, as it does. this season, do not become pessimistic nd feel that nature in some way has slipped a cog and bas turned away from you. Cheer up, seed time will come again and the snow and frosts will disappear. This season will prove no exception to the rule, It is better to have winter conditions now thao a month hence; alter a considerable portion of the seed is in the ground. If when real spring conditions do come, they come to stay, the farmer will fare better than having an early spring, with cold, bleak weather following. It will be remembered that a couple of years ago we had a spring of that type, Many farmers got on the land early and finished up most of their seeding operations in goed time. What was not ac- complisned then had to be held over for a month and many did not finish up most of their seeding op- erations in good time. What was not accomplished then had to be held over fora month and many did not finish seeding till near the end of May.
