rison county will produce q
heavy crop of corn this season
True the corn crop is a tr'fle
slow on the low lands, but the
warm weather, excellent care
and other favorable conditions
are boosting the corn.
Coed prices for farm pro-
ducts, short course instruction,
journals rivalry among the
farmers in matters of yield to
the acre in grasses have pro-
duced a happy effect in the
manner of tanning in Harrison
county
The Ames experts here the
first of June told The farmers
that Harrison county had the
best alfalfa hat they had thus
far seen in the state, and tho
the farmers were a trifle skeyti-
cal when they heard the state
ment, yet the first cutting SUR
passes that of previous years in
quantity and quality, and ow-
ing to the favorable condition
of the weather, the first cut.
ting went into the bsrn and
stack in ideal condition.
Wheat and oats are also re
ported in excellent condition al
the pres ent time; however, the
farmers are a trlfls apprehen-
sive over rainfall at the critical
period.
Among many fruit growers,
there exist the opinion that ex-
cessive rainfall and low tenn
perature during the time when
the orchards were heavy with
blossom, materially interfere d
with pollen cation and that as a
consequence the fruit crop wi ]
be under normal in Harris n
c unity this season. The fall
ing of apples at the present
TIM in the orchards is cited as
verification Of the theory
Though the rainfall and cold
period was general over the
county, yet reports conditions
differ materially from different
localities Toward the north
western part of The county the
fruit crop is reported under
normal while in Six mile grove
and other sections. the fruit
crop is normal in all varieties
as may be Judged at the pres
ent time.
