Reâ€"Sowing Escaped In Waterloo County Most of the farmers over Waterâ€" loo County will escape replanting crops, according to W. J.

Only those on low soils which were flooded out by the heavy rains will have to replant. _ _ â€" Mr. Schneller said he had made an extensive tour of the county reâ€" cently and was amazed to find crops standing up so well after the repeated frosts they had suffered. "Opinion among a group of farâ€" mers, withâ€"whom I talked is that oats touched by the frosts, will reâ€" sprout. The same applies to clover and alfalfa," Mr. Schneller said. ‘The only replanting will be the result of excessive moisture in low spots. not of frosts." "Fall _ wheat â€" was _ certainly browned badly but the frost has not penetrated to the crown. The alfalfa and clover crops also showed every indication that they are capable of making a good reâ€" covery. While these crops will be shortened they are far from being ruined." Farmers in some areas of Ontario will have to resow many of the fields seeded in the milder days that prevailed at the end of March. "I feel quite safe in saying that Waterloo County has fortunately escaped."
