.ler. The month of April will average
warmer than usual in the states ant
from about to a little below normal II
canada.
Rainfall OF April will be very much
scattered and uneven. From Manhat
tan, Kan, to Albany, N. Y, in a wide
stripe, rainfall will generally be above
normal, while a few places in that
strip will have a deficiency in mois-
ture. In most. Of the cotton belt rain
fall will be deficient, but nea the gulf
coast and in Cuba more than usual
rain is expected. For Canada the rain
fall will be much varied, but generally
below the usual normal for April.
But nearly all northern sections are
well supplied with moisture, as the
soil was generally wet when frozen
last fall. Spring wheat should be
sown so as to mature by September
10, as about that time frosts are ex-
pected.
advise planters to put cotton only
on low or fiat land this year, as a gen.
eral rule. This will not suit all parts
of the cotton belt, but it will be the
best as a general rule. In fact, most
parts of the cotton belt would better
plant and SOW only such crops as will
mature early. zSs, sl&...
