cent by the almost daily rains
and the hot sun rays. Canta-
loupes, according to packers.
will soon be OF with the crop
large but OF poor quality in
most cases.
In Cedar Neck farmers who
had not threshed their wheat
before the rains started open
ed shocks to find much of the
grain had sprouted and was
ruined by damp rot. The loss
es in wheat to farmers in this
section is expected to amount
to thousands Of dollars.
Adding further woes for far
mers are the Mexican bean
beetles, which are attacking
the factory lima bean crop.
One farmer has rigged up a
sprayer to a truck equipped
with special lights and is go
ing around spraying and dust
ing his own and neighbors'
fields at night.
