Weather Crop Bulletin May 4 1913 Report
The week ending May 4 1913 saw much sun with rain only on Friday night. Planting advanced with corn sowing in southern counties and early garden work in progress. Cool start and a late frost on the 28th threatened fruit but later warming and showers will aid vegetation though fertilization remains poor due to insects and pollen withering.
