Union County farm adviser L A Nordhausen says 85 to 90 percent of corn in the county has been planted with some cultivation done. Rain today will help break up clods and aid oats while hot weather will be needed afterward for crop growth. Wire worms and cut worms have damaged some fields, and replanting is occurring. Pastures and meadows remain in very good condition.
