corn would make 30 per cent OF a crop.
He said:
Those who failed to get a good
stand are the only ones who are SUI
fering. Where farmers replanted after
the cold weather last spring they have
a good stand, and their corn has not
been injured by the drouth. Where
there was a thin stand the ground has
dried out moro rapidly. The recent
rains, while not extremely heavy. were
