Growing Season
Winter-Killing Of Plants And
Vegetables Heaviest
For Years
The growing season im this section
will open under a considerable handi-
cap as result of the volume of plants
and vegetation killed by the severe
weather during last winter, according
to the Federal-State Crop Reporting
Service.
Florists report that the winter-kill-
ing of roses was unprecedented. On the
other hand, the spring rains have been
rather heavy, and the deep soil is well
goaked. Fields were generally too mud-
dy to be worked during the first half of
April, and the preparations for seeding
were delayed accordingly, Cold nights
have kept the soil too cold for good
germination, and the startiag of vege-
table growth has been slow. Heavy
frosts occurred at intervals all through
last nonth, but no extensive damage
seems to have resulted because of the
late starting of vegetation.
Grass and the winter grains are
making a fair growth, as they do mof
require so much warmth as most crops
and vegetables. Forest trees are leav-
ing out quite rapidly. Gardening has
been in progress here during the last
two weeks, only hardy products beinz
Planted: Plowing continues and corn
ground is being prepared for planting.
Onsts seeding is generally in full
swing. Farm work generally is about
weeks late.

and festive May Day celebration on
Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 when some
220 grade students, parents and teach-

the pupils, an dparents joined in a
tribute to him. He was requested to
stand beside the May Queen, and there
beneath the colorful streamers, ac-
knowledge the good wishes of the two
hundred children who sang the ‘“Hap-

Guests who were present expressed
delight at the result of the festivity.
