S.A. Crop Prospects in the barden Spot Good Good spring weather was excep- tionally beneficial to wheat. Good stands of corn show value of reliable seed. Trifle less acreage of tobacco Record acreage in potatoes. From his close observation of the crop situation in the county made a field in all sections, together with first-hand reports from farmers in touch with the Farm Bureau, Agent 3ucher in a statement embracing the period up to Monday of this week made the following statement. Generally speaking, the crop situa- tion of the county is good. While acreages in some crops may be said to have fallen off, because of the la- bor shortage, the condition of growth is generally satisfactory. Wheat Looks Remarkably Well Wheat—The crop looks surprising- ly well, considering the way it started out. This improvement, of course, has been due to the exceptionally cool weather of the past two months which is always favorable to the crop. Many fields that had rather light stands early in the spring have head- ed up so well as to more than make up for the shortage.« Places where the land is wet are the exceptions; here the stand has been largely suf- focated or frozen out. Rust has not appeared as generally as last year at thig time. Nor have the storms taken down enough to be a serious factor. The straw is good. Advice on Corn Field Reseeding Corn—The effect off the Farm Bureau propaganda for planting only good, reliable noticeable. Good stands have been secured, and the crop is doing finely. However, numbers of farmers have again re- planted fields entirely or have done a large amount of afterplanting. The former method is much to be pre- ferred for the reason that if good seed is used in the second planting a nice, even stand of corn will be se- cured in ample time to ripen in the fall. In the latter case, after plants are always robbed of sunshine and moisture by earlier plants, and, as a result, make little more than nubbins and green fodder. The wire worm has made his ap- pearance in local areas never before infested. This is generally where heavy sods were plowed down late in the spring. In places where wire worm is expected annually farmers are plowing late in the fall to get seed is There are two large farms for rent | head of it. The poor seed experience of 1917 and 1919 should again emphasize the importance of selecting seed in the fall and storing it so that it will be well dried before the freezing weather comes on. Tobacco—There is a trifle less acreage this year. In the northern part of the county an appreciable de- crease is made more apparent by the increased planting of oats. This may be accounted for by the fact that far- mers are using better fertilizer and therefore getting better returns from their oats crop. Since the last meeting of the To- bacco Growers’ Association on June 14th, the rains have been especially beneficial to the recent planting, giv- ing the plants no chance to dry or wilt. There are plenty of plants, and the outlook in general is promising. Grains—The growth was short in the early spring on account of the cold weather, but the recent rains have helped much, timothy especial- ly, as well as red clover. The hay crop, however, may be said to be a little below normal. A noticeable feature this year is the distribution of clover in many sections, due in large measure to the amount of acidity and humus present in the soil. Light soils, such as Berks shale in the northwestern sec- tion, and much of the Manor-soil in the southern end are rarely very de- ficient in lime, if at all. These sec- tions in general carry rather heavy stands of clover this year, although it is somewhat short. The limestone sections which use only small amounts of lime, or none at all, and where pasturing after harvest is practiced generally, are much de- ficient in the clover crop. Sweet Clover Grows in Popularity Pasturage—The Blue grass stands for pasture are, generally speaking, very good. This is the case especial- ly where men are treating pastures either with manure or commercial fertilizer or Ime. More and more farmers, it should be added, are ad- opting sweet clover as a permanent pasture grass. On the dry hillsides which ordinarily do not make good blue grass sods the sweet clover thrives in great manner. And when the livesstock are done accustomed to its taste it will carry more animals per acre than any other kind of pas- ture than we know of. Another excellent feature is that it will reseed itself from year to year, and do good for a number of years if given some fertilizer treatment oc- cassionally. Apples Below Normal; Peaches Good Fruit—Apples, especially the late varieties, are far below normal Many will not make over fifty per cent. This is particularly the case with young trees, say 8 to 15 years of age. excel- The trees carried’ an lent bloom, but for som reason did not set fruit. The peach trees look very well, and the fruit should have a fine mar- ket, for over the state as a whole the peach crop will be short, due to late freezing. Some growers in the coun- ty report a rather heavy June drop on account of the curculio injury. Plums and apricots are alike below normal. » unexplained A Great Acreage of Potatoes Potatoes—This will be one of the largest potatoe acreage ever grown in the county. It was no doubt in- fluenced by the high prices offered for last year’s crop. As an average, {it may be calculated that the seed | that went into the ground would be $4 a bushel, not including labor and fertilizer. The plants are blooming rather early. The Farm Bureau efforts toward including frequent spraying if the potato plants are yearly meeting with greater success. This year a larger acreage of potatoes will be sprayed than ever before—and sprayed thoroughly. To keep the plants perfectly cared for, they should receive at least four or five applications of a good spray, two of which should already have been made. Better Prices for Cattle The Cattle Market—Those who have held their cattle are receiving far better prices than those who, un- fortunately, sold earlier. There are, it seems, a good many feeders who are influenced too easily by days— today conditions without taking a broad outlook of conditions in gen- eral and keeping in touch with the trend of the market, and forming a perspective that takes in the whole situation. Temporary ups and downs in the cattle market are bound to develop at all times, but these should not be allowed to influence too great- ly the farmer’s decision as to feeding on or selling. Some feeders today are realizing as much as seventeen cents, while many who sold weeks ago did not get within four of five cents of that price.
