Brighter Panhandle Wheat Prospects Tied to Moisture and Temp
The Santa Fe May crop bulletin reports near ideal rainfall and temperatures are needed for winter wheat in parts of New Mexico Texas and Oklahoma. Rain is heavier south of the Canadian River than north, with moisture still essential to salvage crops. Greenbugs and brown wheat mites are noted, and favorable weather could boost Texas and Oklahoma yields above early USDA forecasts. Cotton acreage in 1954 shows planting on better soils with heavy fertilizer and insecticide use, possibly yielding slightly less than last year. Also, a fashion note suggests updating a strapless gown with an abbreviated shrug in coordinating colors.
