Drought Cancels
Corn Field Day
HARRISBURG Cancella
tion of this year's statewide
corn field days program em
phasizes the severe hardships
that drought is causing Penn
sylvania farmers. State Agri
culture Secretary Leland H.
Bull said Tuesday.
The corn demonstration pro
gram scheduled to have
been held at the Harvey P.
Sunday farm at New Kingston,
Cumberland County. Septem
ber 28 and 29 was called
off last week after the plan
ning committee viewed drought
damage in fields there
“The corn was stunted,
fields were spotty with large
bare spaces, and theie wasn’t
much point in going on with
plans for the program,” Bull
said
“The real tragedy, however,
is that condrtions on the Sun
day farm are typical of what
is happening in many parts of
Pennsylvania this year,” he
added “Take a drive almost
anywhere and you can see the
damage caused by this dry,
hot weather” (Less than two
inches of rain fell in Central
Pennsylvania m three months
—May, June and July)
“In the hardest hit areas I
have seen coin, scarcely knee
high, in tassel Fields are
ragged looking, with many
baie spots. Leaves are curled
and beginning to dry Corn
such as this will never ear out
It is too late
‘ These fields are total loss
es, with not enough growth
even for ensilage Some farm
eis already are disking poor
fields, hoping conditions will
impiove in time for fall plant
ing ”
Secretaiy Bull pointed out
that these are extieme condi
tions obseived m the driest
paits of Pennsylvania
"In some sections,” he said,
“corn fields were helped by
sporadic storms, and look fair
ly good Color is a good, dark
green Giowth is even and
tasseling and ear development
appear about noimal But
stalks aie shoit and, if cut
foi ensilage, will yield less
than average amounts ”
