A very heavy rainfall visited this
section last Thursday afternoon and
evening and was badly needed for
the growing crops. While some of
the farmers who were threshing
wheat didn't appreciate it quite so
much. and some of the farmers who
have wheat in the field are some
what anxious about getting it thresh-
ed. as it has rained little every
dav for the past four days. While a
little rain now and then on crop
of wheat in the field doesn't do it
any harm, but if the rain keeps up
for several days without much sun
shine and wind considerable damage
will be done to the wheat. Corn
fields are beginning to look good now,
although corn is very late this sea-
son on account of so much cold
weather and the destructive bud
worms which ate two or three plant
ings for some of the farmers.
Sugar corn has not yet appeared
sn the local markets up to this date
Which is very late for the first crop,
usually some of the early truckers
have it by the fourth of July. 1t
will probably be July Goth, before
the first sugar corn will appear.
