OHIO CROP AND FARM
CONDITIONS ON MAY

Progress made by the Ohio wheat
crop during April was such that
many Of the poorer prospects which
had been threatened with abandonment
have been allowed to stand. Also,
clover and grass seeded with wheat
saved a number Of poor prospects that
otherwise might have been abandoned.
The abandonment was greatest in
southwestern Ohio, due TO lack Of
snow projection during very severe
weather. The crop on acreage to be
harvested made about average prog
ress during April. The rye crop al
70 made considerable progress during
the month.

years would probably have been left
