The continuation of .unxea
sonnbly cool weather, coupled
with rain and snow is still
slowing crop growth and ham
pering field work, according
to the Pennsylvania Crop Re
porting Service. Soils dried out
enough in most areas to per
mit field work last Thursday
and Friday, but weekend rains
stalled activities again. Spring
plowing and ground working
were the major activities as
soil conditions permitted, with
oats sowing continuing in
northern sections and corn
planting getting underway in
the south. Other farm activities
included spraying alfalfa, lim
ing and fertilizing, spraying
fruit, planting vegetables, haul
ing manure and repairing fenc
es. Soil moisture supplies are
surplus in many sections of
the State, and adequate in all
others.
