“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

ed higher yields when barley
followed corn than where it
followed tobacco.
In explaining the widespread
lodging in the county barley

make good growth, and the
length of the straw plus the
weight of well-filled i heads

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. (
