Ore., April 26. Farm work in Oregon has been greatly delayed by a backward spring, according to the first weekly crop report of the year, issued by the weather bureau here today. For about five months the tempera ture has been persistently below nor mal, says the report, wet soil has se riously deluyed farm work, and in the elevated districts some farm land is still under snow. Continued low temperature has retarded the growth of vegetation. This week, however. has been the most favorable of the season with moderately warm days. cool nights, little rainfall, drying winds and considerable sunshine. As result of these conditions farm work becamo possible over most of the state aSid vegetation began to, ad vance more rapidly. Roads are improving but are still rough and the higher levels are ob structed hy snow. A coiisideraliln acreago of winter wheat and oats in western counties were winter-killed. Fruit trees and linshi8 wintered well. Alfalfa, tiovor und timothy are very backward and need more warm weather. Pasturage is Improving, but feed on the range Is still Inadequate.
