CROP REPORTS.

During the latter part OF March
farm work was retarded by unfayor-
able weather conditions according to
the Virginia Crop Reporting Service.
The ground was generally too wet for
blowing, although there were few
days in which this work was possible
In a few sections farmers were able to
SOW spring oats and grass. Favorable
conditions in April will make it posi-
BILE for Virginia farmers to get their
croLs planted at the usual time.
Although the recent freezes have
severely injured early peaches, pears
piums and cherries which were in
full bloom in the Southern part of the
State Most fruits have not bloomed
yet SO the loss for the State at large
has not been very great. Favorable
progress has been made with pruning
and spraying in the commercial orch
ard districts.
Early potato growers in Eastern Vir
ginia were hindered I'm their planting
by rainy weather, so a considerable
acreage has been planted later than
usual. Sweet potato beds have been
prepared.
Ihe Wheat crop has come through
bhS NiitCl III IAN tOliull1OuY DuU
many sections the stand is thin, so the
general prospects are hardly as good
az usual.
Tobacco growers have nearly finish
ed making their plant beds. and in
some sections the plants are already
up. Very little of the 1922 crop re-
mains on farms and nearly all markets
will be closed during the next two
weeks.
Livestock has wintered unusually
well due to the mild winter and large
stocks OF feed. Spring pigs are in
great demand in many sections.
Lambs are making rapid growth, but
few will be ready for market until May
when shipments usually commence in
considerable volume.
The supply Of farm labor has been
sufficient for all requirements thus far
but as the heavy spring WORK opens
up there will be shortage in many
sections. Saw mills and road contrac
tors offer higher wages than the farm
, ers can pay and already reports show
that these operations are drawing la.
Dor from the farms.

STOCKS AT LOWEST EBB
Birmingham Iron Being Called For
Prompt Third-Q uarter shipment
Statement April 3,
nEc NYTn~Ec

Birmingham pig irons statistical
strength, indicated May l by rec
ord low stocks on furnace yards. has
been emphasized by further decrease
of stocks during May. The total
makes another record low.
Total of all kinds of iron on fur
mace yards June l was $4,000 tons,
a decrease from May l of 5000 tons
OF this there was 10000 tons of basic
iron used in home mills for manu-
is not merchant iron. All kinds of
merchant iron available fer the
trade amounted June l to approx
mately $4,000 tons. Pledged iron has
practically been wiped out.
Further strength of iron was indi-
Gated in several demands for prompt
shipment of iron ordered for third
Quarter delivery. One melter has
asked for prompt delivery of 1000
to 5000 tons bought for third-quar-
ter consumption. Iron is going from
furnaces as fast as made.
The May production is believed to
have been the largest of the year and
probably made a new high. Ship
ment of this large make, coupled
with additional withdrawal from al.
ready low iron stocks. is referred to
by the makers a s showing strong UNI
dertone.
Prevalent business is confined to
small lots for prompt delivery. No
furnace iron appears to have been
sold under s27 base on part of any
maker.
