Remarks by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture show that
wheat, rye and grass made good pro
gress during April-truck and gardens
very backward farming operations re-
tarded by rain and wet ground. Owing
to wet and cool weather potatoes are
rotting in the ground, many fields are
being replanted-oats are coming or
nicely. Had it not been that clover
had been sown and that labor was
scarce more wheat would have beer
pfowed under and the land sown to oats
Considerable of the wheat acreage
plowed under in Carroll County will b.
planted to sugar corn.
