Heavy Rains Delay
Corn Planting in
midwestern Belt
Field Work in Iowa
Reported Only About
Half Completed
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 23.-FreQuent
rains, spattering over the Nations
corn belt. keeping farmers out Of
their fields and drenching the soil
with too much moisture, have de-
layed planting Of the 1912 crop in
many districts, grain trade reports
showed today.
Except in a few cases where pro-
ducers regard the delay as serious.
however, the moisture situation has
not as yet interfered with producers
plans to seed more area to corn
than their near record small acre
age of last year.
Some farmers like to wait until
they are fairly certain late spring
frost will not catch young corn
plants, but most producers like to
get their corn in before the last
week of May. When frost comes
early, before plants are over 3 inches
high, recovery is likely in cases
where roots are not damaged, crop
experts said. the only bad effect
being a setback in growth. On the
other hand, delayed seeding means
that for corn planted as late as June
q hot summer is required to hurry
maturity to escape possible frost
damage in the fall.
Farmers Rush Work.
In Iowa, top-rank corn producing
~ ho01nnln0
this week was little more than o0
per cent completed. but latest re-
ports indicated farmers were rush.
ing work in all parts Of the State.
sone counties were considerably be-
hind schedule, with very little seed
tng accomplished in the lake region
and westward during the first half
Of May.
James E. Bennett Il Co. had q
report from Sioux City that planting
was delayed about 10 days. In the
Cedar Rapids area seeding was about
half finished at midweek, but farm
ers expected to be near completion
at week end, indicating how rapidly
the work could be done with right
soil conditions and sufI1clent ma
ehinery despite reduced man power.
In Illinois. also a top-rank corn
State, only about third OF the acre
age had been seeded at the start OF
the week, and there were frequent
rains during the week to interrupt
work. Seeding Of about so per cent
Of the intended acreage had been
completed in Missouri, while IN
kansas so to rs per cent had been
planted in the eastern two-thirds.
North of Kansas. however, progress
had not been as good.
Good Foundation Seen.
Crop experts pointed out that the
rain Is building a good foundation OF
moisture in the soil that may be
needed during the hot period OF
July and August.
Original intentions call for q ma
Eonal corn acreage Of 81 .348 600
acres. or about 1900 900 larger than
last year, but 100000 less than
the average seeded area for the
period from 1880 to 1889. Grain men
said it is almost certain the largest
acreage ever planted with high
yielding hybrid seed will be sown.
