FARM OPERATION IS HINDERED BY RAIN, SAYS CROP REPORTER

Oats seeding, possibly more than anything else, has been hindered by bad Indiana weather of the last week, according to the weekly report of George C. Bryant, field agent of the co-operative crop reporting service. Early truck crops have been Injured. Mr. Bryant says, In the report, which is as follows: "Unfavorable weather conditions have further retarded plowing and seeding operations in Indiana during the last week. Weather Keeps Down Wheat. "The backward spring continues to keep down the top growth of wheat, and it is hard to judge the condition at this time. Weather conditions, however, have been generally favorable. "Oats seeding has been further delayed by rains and cold weather during the last week, and fanners are beginning to feel worried regarding the acreage to be planted. Late planted oats generally do not make a good crop in this state. "The barley acreage and condition are practically identical with oats. "Rye continues to look very good. ' Some that was intended to be plowed up will be left for grain because of the low condition of other cereals. "Freezing weather during the last week injured the new clover to some extent in the more exposed places "Killing frosts and freezing weather did further damage to early truck crops. Increased Tobacco Acreage. "Tobacco beds are rapidly being set in the southern counties. The number indicates quite an increase in acreage. "Only slight damage has been done to the fruit trees because of weather conditions. "The demand for farm labor far exceeds the supply. "All live stock is in good condition except in a few of the southern counties. "Pastures are greening up very rapidly, but the top growth is very slow."

"I have 65 acres in wheat," says H. D. Cox, living just across the Ohio line east of Richmond, "but I shall harvest possibly not over 10. I have drilled in a lot of clover, and it now costs too much money to turn under." Mr. Cox says that fruit over his way has not been hurt. I

' A Richmond merchant, whose place Is farmers' headquarters said Saturday: "The rain on Friday and last night, with sunshine today, makes this ideal wheat weather. Wayne county is still short of moisture and that rain was worth thousands to the farmers." After that it rained some more. W. J. Sanborn, living southeast of Centerville, states that "recent soaking rains have gotten down to the subsoil, which fencing operations had shown to be rather dry, especially on high ground. It is now so wet that work in the fields has been put back for days. The late dry and cold spell saw every farmer breaking ground, which is now retarded by the heavy rains. Hard to Judge Wheat. "I have seen some mighty poor wheat, in early spring, which made 18 bushels and up at harvest," said Joe Helms. "You can't always tell how wheat will turn out. With warm, growing weather the wheat is likely to stool out in a surprising way. I put in 18 acres of wheat last fall, and while it isn't looking very good, will- not disturb it." Theodore Davis, of Greensfork, president of the Wayne county farm federation, says that he lost practically all of his early pigs, biit still has about 150 hogs. He wintered 20 brood sows, against 25 a year ago. Being confined by cold weather the sows became restless, he thought, "and they rooted around in the pens after the third day, often killing their pigs." Mr. Davis says he has never experienced so bad a winter for hog raising and that most of his neighbors had bad luck. It is reported from Purdue that two adjoining townships in northern Indiana have 13 tenantless farms. One central Indiana county reports about 40 pe rcent of the farms unable to get needed help. Demand for farm help is more acute than during the war.
