part of the previous week was ideal
for farming, much good plSwing be-

weeks work before first week in
May. However, the well-laid plans
were broken on Monday by an all
morning rain which delayed blowing
till Wednesday noon. Considering
that farmers have only had one

this season, conditions have been
ideal for blowing but, the usual prac-
tice of taking Saturday and delaying
work till Monday and then raining
on Monday, breaks into work.
