Al6—La master Farming, Saturday, September 12,1981 WASHINGTON, D.C. - Rainfall is delaying fell field work, winter grain planting and slowing early growth in several parts of fee world, according to a weekly report issued by the Joint Agricultural Weather Facility of the U.S. Departments of Com merce and Agriculture. Harvest activity in the United States and Canada continued in mostly fair weather. Highlights of fee report follow. USSR. Heavy rain probably delayed soil preparation and in terrupted winter grain sowing in some parts of west European USSR. More rain than is normal for the entire month of August fell last week, damaging maturing com in parts of central European USSR. In fee east, above-normal temperatures and only modest rainfall aided spring grain har vesting. Widespread rains likely interrupted the spring grain harvest in fee eastern New Lands, while dry conditions helped ac celerate the harvest in the west. United States. Fair weather helped harvest and fall field work, especially in the Pacific Northwest and Great Plains. Beneficial rain fell over much of the eastern half of the country, but locally heavier If Kohler generators can protect this hospital, I figure they’re good enough to protect my stock. Emergency power is life or death for my animals and profit or loss for me. That’s why I want a system that’s as reliable as possible. Thafs why I picked Kohler.

Europe. Continued moderate rain probably delayed the winter grain harvest in central Europe. Dry weather and near-normal temperatures benefited maturing spring grains in England and final winter grain harvesting in France. In eastern Europe, above-normal rain and below-normal tem peratures likely delayed harvest efforts and possibly reduced the quality of unharvested grain. The moisture should help winter grains which will be sown shortly, however. Canada. Crop harvests progressed well, especially in fee western Prairies. High humidity and showers in eastern Saskat chewan and Manitoba slowed harvest work somewhat in eastern crop areas, possibly reducing grain quality overall. Weekly rainfall amounts were light except in extreme northern crop areas of Alberta and Saskatchewan and southwestern Manitoba. Mexico. Dry conditions persisted in northeastern Mexico which probably will reduce fruit size in unirrigated orchards.

Moderate rainfall aided maturing com in the southern plateau, and mostly dry weather aided fee cotton harvest to the north. Australia. Light showers fell only on southern coastal areas and eastern Queensland as dry weather prevailed in major wheat areas. The rainfall in eastern wheat regions generally improved topsoil short from dry August weather. Conditions are still favorable for early vegetative growth in all five wheat-producing states. In September, spring growth will become more active as temperatures rise, and early maturing wheat will enter the critical heading stage in fee north. South America. Beneficial rain fell on Brazil’s wheat areas. Dry weather further north con- to pose problems for frost damaged coffee trees. Virtually no rain fell in Argentina’s major wheat areas, but below-normal temperatures kept crop growth at a minimum. Spring rains will be needed for adequate cfop moisture as warmer weather accelerates growth. Eastern Asia.

PA 17506 717-354-4478 heavy rains probably hampered flood recovery efforts in the Sichuan Province. Drier weather in central China helped maturing early soybeans and cotton as well as the com harvest Rain along the south coastal areas hampered the harvest of. intermediate rice, and filling of late-maturing rice. Rain in the' Manchurian Valley may have delayed the cotton harvest and maintained unfavorably wet conditions for soybean develop ment. Winter wheat planting will begin shortly in Henan, Shandong and surrounding Provinces. Southeast Asia. Substantial rain fell in much of eastern Thailand, while - below-normal amounts were recorded in fee northern highlands and Central Plains. Heavy rainfall in Burma’s southeast coastal area aggravated flooding in lice areas. Sugarcane in western Thailand benefited from dry weather. . South Asia. Soil moisture supplies in Gujarat and north centrarindia should be adequate for rice and groundnuts growth. A return of dry weather last week stressed cotton' now in the flowering stage in the north. Un favorable dryness also stressed cotton and rice in Rajasthan and central India. Moderate rain over the south peninsula and east costal areas aided rice growth, while conditions were too wet over Assam. had LANCASTER FARMING FOR COMPLETE AND UP-TO-DATE MARKET REPORTS DRILL PRESS $430°0 MODEL .
