The past month has been cool and moist to a degree that has retarded the 

 preparation for planting and the starting of fruit-buds. Flowering currant-bushes 

 and apple and cherry-trees were beginning to blossom in Topeka about April 

 2oth. At this date little corn is planted. The severe storm from the 17 th to 

 20th, in which considerable snow fell, put back the preparation of corn-ground 

 about one week. The rain and snow of this storm was fully three inches, dur- 

 ing as many days. No damage was done to fruit by the cold weather.
