One said this was disap- gointed as had expected more, hoppers seemed to be hunting for good values and for advertised adver-tised items. NEW YORK Most department stores and retailers say business about even or slightly up over last year. One specializing in women's clothing said sales "way ahead" and "broken all records," but most not so optimistic.

However, temperatures . have averaged generally well above average, the bulletin said, and "prospects for spring sown crops are very good." Field conditions in North and South Dakota and Montana have improved over last fall with ample am-ple surface moisture to start the crop. Field work is not yet general gen-eral in this area. Cargiil said winter wheat conditions con-ditions continued good to excellent excel-lent except in the Pacific northwest north-west and in eastern Nebraska and central Kansas. Winter killing was "excessive" in the dry land areas of Washington Washing-ton and Oregon. Growers there have done considerable replanting to spring wheat, the bulletin said. Winter kill was "extensive" in Nebraska where reports indicate that 75 to 90 per cent of the acreage acre-age in the eastern part of the state will be abandoned. Prospects are that "grasshoppers "grasshop-pers may reach menacing proportions propor-tions this year," the bulletin warned. The prediction was based partly on past experience which shows the pests build up in num bers in 10-year cycles. Cargiil said the last serious infestation was in 1S40. Recent reports from Europe indicate in-dicate the acreage goals for winter win-ter wheat will not be met and that prospects are not as good as one year ago, the bulletin said. Intensive campaigns to increase spring wheat acreage are expected. Going Somewhere Easter! Why not drive up to Wild-wood Wild-wood where you and your kiddies will enjoy yourselves.
