Pastures, Corn
Show Improvement
Following Rains

Light to heavy showers across the
IL further improved the outlooks
for crops and pasture The supply
of soil moisture is now adequate
except in few areas Most reports
Of short moisture supply are from
central areas.
Some rain was reported from all
stations but amounts varied from
nearly none to more than I hre G
inches The highest quantity fell in
northern counties but this area re-
ceived heavy rains during the prev
and in some southern and south
eastern counties precipitation was
moderately heavy. Although d v.
time temperatures exceeded 90 de-
erees at most stations. nights were
mostly mild with the result that the
weekly average was nearly two de-
grees below normal.
Pastures improved approximately
l. per cent during the week and
are now in the best condition since
the first Of June The greatest
gains were made in northern Vir-
GINA although conditions improved
in other areas. The yield outlook
fer corn is the most favorable it
has been this season. Generally
corn is good to excellent in all areas
except central and southeastern Vir-
GINA. In some central areas corn
is approaching the critical stage
and must have rain within a few
DAYS to make a normal yield.
Tobacco continues to be behind
schedule and is irregular in growth
but rapid progress was made dur
ing the past week, especially in the
heavy producing flue-cured coun-
ties and in the principal hurley
area Many fire-cured and sun
cured crops in central Virginia are
in need of additional rain,

Horses are the most susceptible
to tetanus Of all farm animals.
Cattle are second in susceptibility,
but most cases occur in swine and
sheep because routine castrating
and tail docking of the young ami
mails give the germs a chance to
get into the blood stream. Umbili-
cal assesses in newly born ami
mails also present an opportunity
for tetanus infection. Cleanliness
and good mana cement are the best
ways of preventing tetanus.
You can protect valuable ami
mails by having veterinarian vac
clnate them against tetanus. A
veterinarian should also be called
