The state’s oats crop is virtually sown, about nine days ahead of 1975. Only a small portion remains to be done in the north. The emerged oats appear stunted due to lack of soil moisture.

Com planting, at 53 per cent done, is five days ahead of last year’s 32 per cent. The south is furthest along at 68 per cent while central and northern areas show 63 and 24 per cent respectively.

Barley and wheat continue to develop a week ahead of last year. Barley is 34 per cent headed compared with 13 per cent in 1975. Southern counties show two-thirds headed. Wheat is 48 per cent in boot and six per cent headed compared to 23 per cent with negligible heading last year. No headed wheat is reported in northern counties. For both crops, heading has occurred on short straw. Condition of alfalfa and clo-tim hay stands is rated only fair, poorer than usual for this date. About eight per cent of the first cutting of alfalfa has been made, all for haylage. Operators fear short supplies unless the crops soon receive moisture. CHAS. J.
