CROP PROSPECTS GOOD
This Can Be Said of Conditions In
Rlra Ear4h CnuntN


Blue Earth County
Generally speaking crop prospects
in Blue Earth county are good.
The small grain crop was put in
in fine conditions, although little
later than usual. There is slight
reduction in the spring wheat acre
age. but what is planted gives good
promise.
Winter wheat came through the
winter in very POOR condition, much
of it being killed off.
Glover is a light crop, but an in
creased acreage of both clover and
alfalfa has been planted this spring.
This is also true OF soy beans and
sweet clover.
Indications now are that there
will be a normal crop of corn, but
the planting will be rather late ow-
ing to a great scarcity of farm la
Dor. Farmers have found it eX-
tremely difficult to get the neces-
sary farm help to seed their crops.
Oats and barley from tie present
indications will be a normal crop.
