IS A DIFFERENT ASPECT NOW
Tobacco Crop Suffers For Lack of
Rain. Also Other Crops

There has come change in tobacco
and other crop prospects. While we
have not suffered as have many local.
ties. we very much need rain. Pastures
are becoming short and brown, potatoes
and corn somewhat stunted, the tobac-
co yield will be very materially re-
duced. 1t is uneven, spindling leafed.
There are some fine crops, but as q
whole rain must come soon to make
anything like an average yield or quail
;sy. A good deal of topping has been
done and the last of this week some
cutting and shedding will be the order.
OF the general conditions elsewhere in
the growing districts the Edgerton Re-
porter comments:
Condition. of the growing tobacco
crop is not as assuring as we would
like to write about, and the prospects
of the harvest not as encouraging as a
few weeks ago. Rain is badly needed
in most of the growing sections to help
the development CO the earliear fields
now topped and to prevent quite no.
ticeable tendency to spindle in the later
fields. The grower will gain nothing
by permitting the plants to grow up a
long Towering head. If there is pre-
as well be topped one time as another
for it is bound to produce small leaf
in any event. The outlook at present
points toward large proportion of
short rB" tobacco in the present crop
and vastly more of it if the dry wealth
er continues for another week.
The case of the Wisconsin tobacco
crop is not hopeless one by any
means, We have known conditions to
look vastly worse at this time of year
and still nearly an average crop har-
vested. Much, moreover, will depend
on the weather conditions of the COM
ing two weeks. Tobacco is such a re-
Cooperative plant that few setbacks
do not produce the unsatisfactory re
suits as many other crops grown on
the farm. Many time have we wit
messed some lightning chnnges in a
very few days after drouth had SEEM
ingly put discouraging outlook on the
prospects of harvest.
