Corn, Soybean Crop Prospects Are Good I Recent Weather To Favor Harvesting MINNEAPOLIS, UP — Unseasonably warm, dry weather prevailed over most of the country during recent weeks except for A brief cool spell early this month, according to the latest edition of the Cargill. Crop Bulletin released' today. I The Bulletin said recent weather favored harvesting of small grains and j pushed corn and soybean crops toward maturity. Some light frost was reported but damage was negligible, . In the cornbelt, corn and soybean harvest was underway in scattered areas where the \dry weather earlier forced crqps ta rapid maturity. , j Unlike last' year, the Bulletin there are only local reports of Corn crops late enough to be damaged early frost. Most farmers in southern and southwestern areas apparently are waiting sos rain before seeding winter wheat, the report said. Corn and soybean crops are expected to be good. v Spring wheat harvests in the northwest were reported making good, progress after some delay from showers and wet weather. Some high areas in the Pacific Northwest still had considerable acreages of wheat to be harvested. The Bulletin said most of the wheat crop has been excellent so far except for low protein content. The exception was in North Dakota where high protfein and quality were reported. The oat 4rop is estimated at 1,261,000 bushels this year, about 52.000 bushels less than last year. Barley, however, Is estimated at \221.000,000 bushels. Flax fields in the northwest made good progress toward maturity under generally favorable conditions. About two-thirds of the crop remains to be harvested in Northern Minnesota and North Dakota.

Progress Reported \ In Driver Training Steve Ejterhart, driver training instructor of Decatur high school, continued this week to “break in” young students in the proper way to handle an auto—both from the driving standpoint and maintenance. Before actual road instruction, Everhart lifts the hood of the car and the functions of many important parts found there. He then holds a question and answer session to see how well the students" have learned the simple mechanics he offers them. To date, Everhart imports a good deal of progress; Students who never have seen whdt goes on under the hood are soop able to give at least a general stpry as to how a car operates, says the driving instructor. } i ill- t >.<4- ivi I □i i i_
