PAUL, Minn. (AP) Dry soils have been hindering completion of plowing of smaU grains and hay stubble in sev- eral areas of Minnesota, the Crop Reporting Service says. At the end of last week, 41 per cent of the soybean crop had been harvested, compared with 69 per cent last year and an average of 33 per cent. The warm, dry weather last week aided field drying of grain corn, the service said. Grain corn harvesting was 8 per cent completed, compared with 13 per cent in 1974 and 9 per cent in an average year.

Filling of corn silos was near- ing completion in most areas, as was combining of flax. Digging of potatoes was 67 per cent completed, slightly ahead of average. Sugarbeet harvesting was 10 per cent complete. The service sa id digging would be slow until cooler weather would permit stock piling of beets. Scientists complete hole plugging project in D.C.

flu rwiv if IT pen A i WEATHER RANGE High Low Pr. By DON KENDALL AP Farm Writer WASHINGTON (AP Sci- entists plugged some holes in the mite House lawn last week, completing an 18-month soil mapping project in which the District of Columbia be- came the first large city to have a complete earth analysis of its very own. The project was described in a current issue of "Soil Con- servation" published today by Ihe U.S. Soil Conservation Service, an agency of the A i a However, the White House involvement was not mentioned since the article went to press before the survey was com- pleted. Anne Zack, who wrote the ar- ticle, said it had been hoped that a brief ceremony marking the "last acre" of mapping could have been held at the White House.

But this was can- celed, presumably because of recent security around Presi- dent Ford. The U.S. Soil Conservation Service has been analyzing soil samples and making maps showing what they are since the turn of the century. About 56 per cent of the country's land area has been tested and mapped, and SCS hopes to fin- ish the job by 1998. Partial soil mapping has been done in many cities or else they have been included in larger areas for study, Miss Zack told a reporter.

But the 69 square miles of the District of Colum- bia 44,160 acres are the Snow falls over northern Rockies By The Associated Press Snow was falling early today over the northern Rockies while clouds were spreading from the eastern Gulf Coast and South Atlantic Coast into the Ohio Valley. Showers and thunder- showers fell from Florida into the southern parts of Illinois and Indiana. An intense low pressure cen- ter over Wyoming brought cold air over a large part of the Western states during the night, and the front brought the first widespread snowfall of the season to the northern Rockies. Snow was reported in southeast Idaho, western Montana and Wyoming. Earlier, snow was reported in the northern sections of Nevada and Utah.

Clouds ahead of the weather system were spreading into the central Rockies and northern Plains. An inch of snow was reported at Great Falls, Idaho Falls, Idaho, and Owyhee, Nev. The low pressure also was causing strong winds over a wide area of the Plains and Rockies. Winds reached 54 miles per hour at Cheyenne, with gusts of over 30 m.p.h common elsewhere. The surge of cold air behind the storm dropped many tern- HHH raps Ford over tax plan WASHINGTON (AP) Sen.

Hubert H. Humphrey says President Ford was wrong to ask for a tax cut that is two and one-half times the tax re- ductions actually proposed by the President. "The proposals he (Ford) made are politically colored and misleading and can only be understood in a political con- test," Humphrey said in a statement released by his Washington office Tuesday. "It is wrong for the President to claim a J28 billion tax cut when he has only proposed $11 billion in additional tax reduc- tions." peratures into the 30s over the Northwest with a few 20s in the northern plateau where partial clearing had begun. A frost warning was issued for the val- leys of southwest Idaho.

Temperatures in the Plains, ahead of the coM front, re- mained mostly in the 60s on Tuesday. Temperatures in the 30s also were reported in Pennsylvania New York and the New Eng- land states, while 70s and a few 80s remained over the extreme southeast. Temperatures around the na- tkm at 3 a.m. (EDT) ranged from 82 at Key West and Fort Lauderdale, to 28 at Con- cord, N.H. Bostwicks buys better so you can! first representing a large city to be mapped in detail according to types of soil and their deficiencies.

The project was born almost seven years ago when students at an elementary school found that they needed soil survey in- formation to plan an ecology project. The National Park Service later asked USDA to come up with detailed informa- tion, leading to the full-scale project. If a detailed survey had been made long ago, it could have led to some different scenes for lourists around Washington D.C., officials said. For example, the Japanese cherry trees first planted along the Tidal Basin in 1912 might have been put elsewhere. A soil survey "would have shown that Ihe water table there is too high for the trees" and other sites might have been chosen or else their present location changed in some way so that the trees could grow better.

James C. Patterson, a re- search agronomist in the Na- tional Park Service, said that as a result the cherry trees have had a hard time surviving and that many had had to be replaced over the years. Miss Zack said that although SCS has mapped urban soils since 1966, the D.C. survey will be the first one published with the city dweller in mind. She said it will be available next year as part of the bicentennial observance.

"Unlike most other surveys, it will feature sections on land- scaping, pollution-tolerant plants, home gardens and grasses for laws," her article said. Oct.
