In a little over a week we’ll have May. Dare we count on warmer weather then? Surely, at least we hope so. At any rate farmers are get­ ting anxious to get out on the land. Tractors are being “tuned- up”, implements pushed out from theii* winter quarters and seed grain is being cleaned in readi­ ness for that long-awaited sea­ son. More than farmers are busy.
