They had a very cold winter here in Iowa and the ground has
been frozen so deep that it is slow in thawing out. Farmers, as yet, have sown
but little wheat, but they have everything ready to push the seeding as soon as
the ground will permit. It is quite pleasant today, but the roads are very
muddy yet, and there is no news of any importance.
