The Michigan weather and erop buletin issued Tuesday says: "Continued warrn, showery weather has pushed all vegetation forward very rapidly, and everything is much in advance of the season. The frequent and raoderatey heavy showers have retarded farin work, holding back oonsiderable plowng and delaying spring seeding. The wet weather is also causing slight daraage to wheat on low ground, and a number of correspondents report that on ow groutid wheat is turning yellow !rorn the excessive moisture. This condition, however is far from the rnle. Generally speaking winter wheat is in very fine condition, having 'rnade an enoimous growth during the past week. Rye, grass and meadows have also made a wonder,ful growth. In the southern part of the state rye is headiug out. iUuch oatr sowing has been done. Plowing for corn has been pushed as rapidly as the wet weather would allow. In the extreme southern part of the state, corn planting has already commenced. Ealry potato plantiDg is in piogress in all sections of the state. Fruit trees in all sections of the lower península are in full bloom and almoat without exception indícate a heavy yield. Over the upper peninsula the snow has disappeared and farming operations have begun in earnest. Grass has started well and has made a fine growth. Farmers have been busy plowing and considerable oat seeding has been done.
