Indications a month ago were for

Excessive rainfall has had marked
effect in the minds Of the planters.
Correspondents say that with inn
proved weather conditions farmers
will probably plant more than the 5

Use of fertilizer this year COM
pared to last season indicates a lar

The labor situation remains unsatis-
factory. Scarcity is noted in the
same states as last year, and the

fort to give an honest return for the
compensation received. Only ideal
weather will reduce the need of re-
planting and extensive cultivation so
that the labor shortage may be over
