County Expert Brings In

Prospects for good crops in the val

Harwell. county Agricultural agent,
who returned Tuesday evening from
an inspection trip. Small grain crops
are being harvested all over the
project" he stated. and. while the
yield IS not coming up to what might
have been anticipated. still it is not
as low as good many people thought
nkely By reason OF the scarcity OF
water encountered in the early para
OF the season
Pears look fine and will be Of ex-
cellent quality. The local pear grow
ers' association is actively engaged in
getting its plans in shape TO handle
the crop The canning plant Is being
put in shape for early work
Drainage conditions are being i'm
proved All the drains are giving am
pie evidence OF satisfactory results.
and much OF the land which last year
failed to make satisfactory crop is
showing a marked Improvement.
Insect damage thus far has plainly
iessened from last years results Bet
ter methods OF control are IN opera
ton, and generally there are not so
many insects appearing in crops as
there were last year"
