APRIL METEOROLOGICAL NOTES.

Temperature-The were rapid
fluctuations of temperature during the
month with some unusually warm
and some unusually cool spells, but
on the whole the month averaged So
degrees warmer than normal. Freez-
ing temperatures occurred on seven
days, the latest being on the 18th.
Precipitation-Prec came
to 470 inches, which is LIS inches
above normal, and the heaviest distri-
button in April since 1909. 1t was
well distributed through the month,
and there were no heavy dOwnpours.
The snowstorm of the 15th-16th was
the heaviest ever recorded in April
and the heaviest of the present winter.
1t was attended by high winds, caus-
ing large drifts, and accompanied and
followed by temperatures considerably
below freezing.
The storm of Monday, April 25th,
began at 135 p. m. Some hail OF
small dimensions was mixed with the
rain. The rain ended at 2:30 with a
fall of 0.30 inches.
The storm carried a maximum
wind velocity of % miles an hour ex-
cept for a narrow area where the
force had tornado violence. Great
damage over a narrow but long area
occurred during this storm.
The river remained at moderate
stages during the month.
Crops-At the beginning of the
month farm work and vegetation were
much in advance due to the abnormal
ly warm March, but the cold and wet
weather with frequent freezing tenn
peratures during April prevented rap
id growth and interfered with farm
operations. The injury to the fruit
by the freezing temperatures was not
extensive in this locality because very
little fruit was in blossom The seed
ing of spring wheat and oats was COM
pleted early in the month, and some
blowing of corn was done, but during
the latter half of the month the soil
was mostly too wet for blowing.

Fall Growth Of Sweet
Clover Makes Best Hay

Hay from sweet clover - best OBJ
tanned from the fall growth Of spring
sown seed provided the land on which
/, was grown is fertile. according TO
Ralph kenney. crops extension speci-
alist from the College Of Agriculture.
The second years crop may be graz
ed Oft entirely or grazed until late
May and allowed TO grow up for seed.
Another way Of handling the second
years crop is TO NOV IL with a high
s,ubble when II is about Is inches
high and let the material rot. The
second growth following this prac-
tice will make an excellent seed crop
that is not too tall to bind and one
which will make as much seed as can
be harvested successfully from a crop
tina, was not grazed or cut to hold
IL back.
There are two seasons Of the year
during which under favorable condi-
,ions sweet clover may be cut for
hay. The first il the autumn Of the
same year the seed was sown and the
second Is the following spring. This
latter period is the one in which per
haps most sweet clover in Kentucky
is cut for hay. The crop is harvest
ed when from 20 20 30 inches high
and before the blooms appear. There
are many farmers who are successful
and well pleased with this method
Of handling the crop. However. the
coarse quality Of such hay. the diff
fiuclty in curing the thick. fieshy
stems and the loss Of leaves in hand
ling il so great that many farmers
object to lit and say IL Is not woth
the trouble. This keeps many from
growing the crop.
1T is mistake TO think that be-
cause sweet clover is legume and
looks something like alfalfa, IL must
be cut often and handled the same
way. Proper understanding Of how
best to handle sweet clover creates
and keeps friends Of the crop, while
Misunderstanding simply leads to dis
appointment. Many farmers have
cut hay during the second years
growth and killed their stand. This
is real danger and the sensible thing
TO do never to handle IL that way"

ing TO estimates made by soils and
crop specialists Of the station. The
acreage was divided among 80 farms
in I6 counties and is expected to pro-
duee from 5000 TO 10000 bushels
Of grain which will be available for
seed this fall.
The new strain Of wheat which has
been the highes, yielder at the Ex-
pertinent Station farm for the last
six years was developed from one
head out Of about 500 heads selected
in 1918. In 1915 enough wheat was
secured to plant three one-tenth acre
plots and the strain gradually de-
veloped from that time. The first
distribution Of seed from the station
was made in the fall Of 1919 when so
bushels were sent out. In the fall OF
1920, 500 bushels were distributed
which resulted in the crop for this
year.
The Ashland is similar TO all
strains Of Fultz in appearance. How
ever. the straw Of Ashland is some
what sitter than that Of Fultz and
slightly lighter in color. II has prov
ed TO be a CONSTANT yielder in Cen
trail Kentucky and gives excellent re-
suits wherever Fultz wheat has been
popular.
During the years from 1915 to
1920 inclusive the average yield an
acre Of Ashland at the Experiment
Station has exceeded those Of the
three leading varieties ow wheat in
the State including Jersey Fultz,
Fulcas,er and Currell's Prolific.
Ashland yielded an average Of 1876
bushels, Jersey Fultz 3l.3 bushels.
