Farm. Problem This is one of those years"when even those who don't know much about farm- ing or theproblems which farmers face, feel concerned about the weather conditions that exist and the effect they have on farming operations. `it is all of three weeks ago that the • Stratford Beacon -Herald commented on the situation in these words : "It has seldom happened that we have have comeso close to the end of Alaril, in this area, with not a single grain of oats or barley seed in the ground to produce the year's grain har- vest. There have been many years in which, by this date, seeding hof the feed grain crops which are vital to farm economy, has been completed. This year; it hasn't yet started. In this painfully slow and `retarded spring season, most of the'crop land in the Stratford-Goderich area is still a sticky -mess of mud. It is apparent by now that instead of using the early part of May to finish up the tag -ends of the seeding program, most farmers will be making a start some time:in May. When the land finally does dry out enough to be. workable, we are going to hear the tractors roar into action like the open- ing ofthe great Canadian tank assault on the German defences south of Caen, when six regiments of Canadian` Army tanks hit the line all at once. It will be dawn -to -dusk, and on into the night when tractor ` headlamps, to get the seeding done. The crop will go, in. Th this 'unus- ually fortunate part of the world, there has never been a year. of crop ' failure since the first groups of settlers arriv- ed 133 years ago. The penalty for a late seeding will have to be paid, though, at harvest time, when the work of getting in the crop will pile up and be concentrated in a short space of time. with tractor headlamps, to get the cal beef or dairy farmer of this live- stock raising area can stagger his seed- ing schedule; 'He can sow one field of oats early in April, and another field late in April, and juggle the timings a bit more with the choice of quick -ma- turing or slow -maturing' varieties, so that when the crops ripen, the do not ripen all at once. Harvest -season work is always going to, be strenuous, -but it is less strenuous if the .harvest can be spread over a longer period. In a year of unusually late seeding, as 1965 is proving to be, the harvest work is in- evitably going to put unusual stress on men and machinery, because thetime- span of the harvest is going to be com- pressed. There 'is still a shine on most fields in the area, indicating that • surplus moisture is still at the surface in many spots, the Beacon -Herald says, and adds that as the calendar dates go by, and the shiny spots endure, We have a lot of increasingly fidgety farmers." These words were written three weeks . ago. Cdunt, if you can, hoW many more farmers are fidgety today.
