Very my points report the ground as too soft. for the use of mobor tractors. BAD BLAZE. AT ENGLEHART The Acreage of Wheat Is Not In- creased, Which is a Good Sign. A despateh from Winnipeg say-s: The Free Press fortnightly crop re- port, based on telegraphic reports from 207 points in the three western Provinces, shows that seventy-five per cent. of the seeding is done, 114 points having reported 75 per cent. or more. The acreage in wheat is not increased over 1912, amd there may be a slight decrease. This is regarded as a. good sign, as fann- ers are apparently realizing the danger of: late seeding and ere‘d‘e- voting their attention to land that was prepared last year. Only three points report an actual need of rain. Wet snow has fallen very generally in, Southern Alberta, About the only section where addi- tional moisture was needed.
