some crops and for harvesting hay
All stations reported some rain
fall but there was a wide variation,
ranging from .05 inch at Holland to
$50 inches at Walkerton. The north
ern and central counties which had
been very dry generally received
excellent rains. Temperatures aver
aged slightly below normal although
there were several very hot days
when most stations reported 80 de-
grees or above.
Pastures continued to improve
however. in some sections the rains
had not had tome to promote new
growth Additional rains are still
needed in many small areas.
Corn has improved and prospects
now are unusually favorable in
most parts of the State. A fe W
areas in the southeastern and south

week but growth is still about 10

Droueht-Areo Hay
Short in Vitumins
Could Result in Poor
Health for Livestock

Livestock losses are often caused
by drought induced vitamin defci-
encies, says the American Founds-
ton for Animal Health.
Hay from droug ht-strick
areas may have poor quality and
may be low in vitamin A. the
Foundation says. Feeding Of this
low quality hay over an extended
period may result in poor health
for stock.
Vitamin A deficiency is especial
ly problem in cattle. but can also
affect swine, sheep and horses
Weak, blind calves that often die
shortly after birth, and breeding
failures may result from this de-
fciency -even though the cows ap-
pear normal.
