WINTER WHEAT
DAMAGED BY COLD
Freezing and Thawing Re-
suits in Damage in Places,

Considerable damage to winter
wheat and rye in portions of the
State as the result Of freezing and
thawing recently was reported to the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture by George c. Bryant, agri'
cultural statistician. today. Low
places IN many fields were covered
with ice for a week or more and these
now show no signs of life, the report
states.
A heavy demand for seed corn OF
planting quality has resulted from the
poor quality of last years crop and
prices for seed have scared as high
as 90 cents a bushel in some Southern
sections. The local demand for feed
ing purposes is regarded as generally
good while the price range is some
what better than market quotations.
Glover, like wheat and rye, suffered
from the freezing and thawing weather
hut timothy meadows and pastures
are about normal. Livestock also IS
reported in fairly good condition while
the labor situation is fairly satisfac-
tory.
Temperatures for the. first half the
month averaged about normal, though
precipitation was below normal. Until
the last few days, but little outdoor
farm work was accomplished because
of unfavorable weather conditions.
