Plowing on a big scale continues over Kosciusko County, the only exception being that a number of farmers have completed all the plowing they have to do as there is not much ground left that is yet to be turned.

Wheat looks particularly good and many fields have a slight greenish tinge. Early Easter flowers are already breaking through the ground and are up an inch or more in some gardens though a severe nipping may be in store for them in the near future.
