“And they were good-dzed,
tight bales," he added. This
yield was from a crop which
he described as having "the
worst lodging I ever saw any
where.”
A grower in the Lancaster
area also reported lodging to
be about the worst he had

ed higher yields when barley
followed corn than where it
followed tobacco.
In explaining the widespread
lodging in the county barley
fields this year, the extension
office suggested the early mois
ture had enabled the crop to
make good growth, and the
length of the straw plus the
weight of well-filled i heads
were a combination unable to
withstand the freak wind that
hit the county in late spring.
It was also suggested! that,
following several dry f years,
an excess of fertilizer fesidue
may have been present an the
ground, which could have ac
counted for the growthiiiess of
the crop. (
