tunately but large orchardists about
Milton believe the crop will be fair
one, although the full extent of dam
age will not be definitely known un-
til after the June DROP" when ma
ture thins the fruit from the trees.
A thorough inspection of the buds
indicates that many escaped the kill
ing frOsts and cold weather, because
of the high winds that kept the buds
free from moisture. Wheat wintered
we'll in this section and a normal
yield is expected. Glover also win
tered in good condition and a bump
er hay crop is assured. Factory
peas came up we'll and all sections
have good stands, indicating a nor
NAL crop, unless they are later mo-
Tested by the pea lice that at times
plays havoc with this crop. Early
white potatoes are showing through
the ground but it is too early to es-
innate the yield. The acreage to this
crop here is much larger than last
year, owing to the good prices now
being received by those who stored
their crop in outdoor kilns. They
kept well during the winter. Corn
ground land is being plOwed and
prepared for planting, which will
begin in few days. A large acreage
will be planted to tomatoes, the
ground for which has been prepared
by the forward growers. The plant
ing of the lima bean crop for the
canneries will begin the latter part |
of May. This is one of the best pay
ing crops grown in this section and
the acreage this year will be greater
than last year. Pastures are suffer-
ing from lack of rain and many far
mers have been compelled to take
their cattle from the pasture lands
and stall feed them.
