FRUIT TREES LEAFINC
IN SOUTHERN INDIANA:
FORWARD over STATE

Fruit trees are unusually forward"
in Indiana this spring, some of the
earlier varieties actually leafing out
in the southern counties with the re-
suit that much apprehension is felt
the final outcome, accord
ing to the semi report of
George c. Bryant. agricultural Stats
tician Of the cooperative crop report
ing service. Mr.. Bryant points out
that another period of unseasona Bile
weather has just passed with tempera-
ture far above normal, but that fig
ures for this last period show about
the normal amount of precipitation.
Under these conditions" Mr.. Bry-
ant says, much spring blowing and
some seeding has been done"
Hessian Fly Menace
The report in part follows: Some
maple sugar camps are still in opera
ton. Much more seed corn has been
tested this year than usual, notWith-
standing the good crop produced last
year Not much old corn going to
ma rket, because Of poor condition OF
roads and prevailing low prices. Hes
sian fly seems to be the greatest men
ace to the wheat crop. 1t is preva-
lent in nearly all sections of the
state"
Mr. Bryant reports that some oats
seeding has been done and the work
will become general within a few
days if weather conditions remain IA
vorable. The acreage probably will
be less than last year, according tc
Mr.. Bryant.
Pastures Excellent
1.-THE condition of rye is practically
the sa me as wheat, except that no fly
damage has been reported.
Young clover is making good prog
ress and no winter killing has been
reported Pastures are in excellent
condition.
Fruit trees are very forward anc
some earlier varieties are leafing out
in the southern counties. Some ap
prehension is felt regarding the out
come.
Farm labor is plentiful, but wage
demands are higher than farmers are
willing to pay.
Live stock is in good condition
with the exception of a few scattered
cases of hog cholera. Prices continue
too low for profitable feeding and no
as much as usual is being done
