Crops Behind Last Year

Almost one fourth of the corn crop has reached the drough stage, slightly behind the development of the crop the past two years.

Condition of the crop is considered to be fair. The condition of the potato crop is good, while the condition of dry beans and soybeans was fair. For optimum crop development, more moisture will be needed. Many vegetable, dry bean, potato fields and orchards were being irrigated during the week.

Oat harvest progressed at a rapid pace varying from 95 percent complete in the Southwest to 5 percent in the Upper Peninsula and averaging, two thirds complete for the State. Some fields in the Thumb area were down badly and the crop was being windrowed to complete harvest throughout the State. In the Upper Peninsula the first cutting was nearing completion and in the southwest the second cutting was nearly done, although damp nights slowed progress somewhat. Plowing and land preparation for fall sown grains and legumes continued except in areas where it was too dry for these operations. Many growers were hand weeding sugar beets and dry beans in attempt to control larger weeds.
