With a bad start, it appears now

TINE farmers have been so busy
Il they haven't had time to cut
the roadside weeds in many
places, and the weeds, which ban
quoted on the spring rains, have
grown to unusual heights.
So high, in fact, that on some
country roads they obscure the
view at cross roads and create a
real hazard. Tractors are getting
more and more popular here and
in neighborhing states.
Cutting wheat, for instance, a
tractor can double the acreage of

In Ohio a 80 to 40 bushel-to-the-

Rust accounts for this partly,
and the other ills that befall
wheat when a spring is as wet as
this one. The heads don't fill out

be baled and sold, but generally
farmers keep it for bedding and
manure. Thus the cash value of
