CROPS RETARDED
BY DRY WEATHER
With many sections of North Caro
lina moving into their fourth succes
sive week of dry weather, farm op
erations are being seriously delayed
nd many crops are running far be
hind their normal growth for this
season of year, according to the
weather-crops reports issued here.
Frank Parker, head of the Crop
Statistics Division of the N. C. Ag
riculture Department, said that "far
mers in many areas are faced with
dry and hard land."
"Clods are prevalent in many fields
in the clay soils of the cnetral and
mountain counties," said Parker, add
ing that most upland heavy soils can
not be worked.
The report indicated that prepar
ation of bottom lands and sandy soils
were still posible in most regions,
but that these fields are in need of
additional moisture.
Judson Blount, of Greenville, far
mer and merchant, told representa
tives of the Agriculture Department
that planting and general farm work
in that section are running around
three weeks behind schedule.
