The party lines, the general store, the street corners on Saturday night, the grist mill, and any place where people gather, is echoing with comment; on the weather, and it's effects upon the farmers crops. Believe me, the farm- ers have plenty to talk about, plenty to complain about these days, as more and more rain falls on already sodden fields, and crops get even more water on them. We have reached, long since, what might be termed the saturation point, and the water has stopped being saturated by the ground. Fields are washing, crops are becoming yellow and pale and the ground is getting so soft underfoot that the cattle are punching pastures to pieces with their feet, Now the farmers are worrying about how their machinery will be able to stand up on the soft ground. This is going to be a problem year for farmers. It is going to be a pro- blem at haying time and another one in the fall, come harvest. First of all, the haying problem is going to be one of the most acute, There is a heavy crop of hay due to the lush growth of this spring. This hay is a soft qual- ity, with so much rain, and it will be hard to cure. There s such a heavy stand that it will again be hard to cure, and the soil being so soft under it will only add to this problem. Then, of course the problem of heavy going in the soft fields will be another item to contend with, Many farmers are turning to other methods of preserving the hay, for they feel, they are in for an inferior grain crop, and they will need every stalk. They are putting up grass silage, installing barn hay dryers, and trying various methods. Some of these are new, some are old, some are ex- pensive, others are not, but they are being tried by farmers that are fast becoming desperate. The weather can be a fickle thing and farmers in this area are being shown again this year, that their en- tire livelihood depends upon the whims and fancies of this element. We have had hurricanes that have cost hun- dreds of thousands of dollars damage in the township to the south of us. We have had rain and more rain, in each case adding to the problem, It could spell plenty of trouble for the farmers and as has been proven in the past, if the farmer suffers so does everyone else.
