CROP CONDITIONS
Arb ENCOURAG
Present OutIOOk is Bright
for Fruits, Grain and
Vegetables.

For the week just ended the Climate
and Crops Service for Delaware and
Maryland reports as follows:
The past week has been one of ale
most continuous cloudiness, but warm
southeast winds kept the temperature
steadily above the normal. furnishing
an agreeable contrast to the cold of the
week preceding.
The warmth and moisture combined
TO produce the finest growing period
thus far this season. in which an crops
shared. Practically no plowing was
done after Tuesday, the rains having
made the soil too wet 10 work. Much
OF the spare time was utilized In spread
ing lime and final hauling of manure.
Wheat and rye have shown marked
improvement in all parts OF the Sec
tion since last report, the showers hay
ing induced a vigorous growth. Wheat
now stands from eight to ten inches
high in the principal wheat-growing
districts. and Is in a generally satisfac-
tory state. except that the injury done
during the Winter in the low-lying
fields now appears more pronounced
by comparison with the thickly-sot up
land crop.
Glover fields present similar con-
trasts. being we'll rooted and thriving
on high and rolling lands. but thin and
"bunchy' where water soaked during
the Winter freezes Timothy is gener-
ally promising, and pastures have made
rapid growth during the week. Farm
ers have been sowing oats, as the
weather allowed, in the western com-
ties, and, under favorable circum-
stances, this work will be finished
there next week. Some oats are up in
the ncrthern-central counties. and In
the southern counties all OF the crop
has been sown and is above ground.
Little progress has been made In
plowing corn land. but with favorable
weather the coming week viii see rapid
progress in this work. which is now
much behind. Some corn has been
planted in Dorchester. WicomicO and
Worcester counties, but none else
where
