Farmers in Western Canada were reported giving consideration to a suggestion that spring seeding be done from the air. Such aerial seed- ing was advanced as a possible method to overcome the fact that flooded land might dry out too late this year to permit a normal grow- ing period for crops. H Manitoba's flood situation still was reported serious although the main troublemaker--the Red River --had receded nearly four inches at Emerson on the Minnesota border. Emerson had been one of the hard- | est hit of all prairie communities | by the floods. At Winnipeg, the Red had risen 3%2 inches in a 24-hour period but | no more families were forced to evacuate their homes. City officials declined to estimate when the crest of the Assiniboine River, which flows into the Red here, would reach the city. In Alberta, where close to 3,000 persons had been forced from their homes, the worst appeared over. Many of these who had been evac- uated in the Drumheller Valley have been able to return. Railway 'officials reported line conditions improving as work gangs repaired tracks damaged by the floods.
