Fanners in the Central Huron
Area were able to get on the land
this week for the . first time in
nearly a month. • Almost daily
rain, and snow as late as the mid-
dle of May, had turned fields,
which ordinarily would have been
in good condition, into mud flats.
'While there' have heen showers
almost every day, warm weather
the first three days of the Week
dried the ground quickly to a point
where farmers were able to com-
mence seeding.
Farmers are taking advantage
of every moment of good weather
to catch up. In many cases, trac-
tors are working night ae-well as
during the day. Where there are
areas in fields not fit for working,
seeding, is going on in .the high
spots, while the low spots dry.
Some- farmers report that the
rains were so heavy that fields
that had been • harrowed are just
as tough to work up now as•those
that had not been touched.
A number of farmers have re-
vised' their planting plans and are
substituting late crops. such as
corn or beans.
