There of NeighbOrhOod Interest
Local farmers are now much con-
cened over the outlook for the future
wheat crop due to the new crop being
so dead in appearance and yellow
Many claim this condition due to the
recent long period of cold weather
when the ground was frozen which
caused the blades Of the young wheat
to become twisted and take on the
light yellow color. So far this win
ter there has been no snow to cover
the ground, and this is considered to
be handicap to the young wheat also
as it is noticed that seasons following
a winter of heavy SHOWS the wheat
is always thicker on the ground and
generally a heavy yield is harvested.
The snow also is a benefit in freez-
ing out the Hessian fly and other in
sects that lay their eggs on the young
wheat roots to hatch out later and
invade the wheat while in the grow
ing state. A large acreage Of wheat
was seeded in this section last fall
and the present outlook is causing
farmers to be somewhat alarmed.
