Moisture Needed For County Crops
Green county farmers say crop prospects are good but moisture is needed soon to start the growing season. Dry spells affect fields and gardens while some ground remains too wet to plow. The U S weather bureau in Milwaukee reports continued warm weather with a high of 85 in Monroe and no rain indicated for the rest of the week. Corn planting is nearly finished and hay crops need rain to finish the first cutting. Meadows suffer from the drought and milk production could drop with extended dry weather. Strawberry crops require immediate moisture to avoid shrivel, while native fruits look promising if rains come. Hog pasture yields are favorable, and hundreds of tent caterpillar incursions threaten tree foliage.

Dairymen Forecast Milk Prices To Soar For Years
Dairy men at the Holstein Freisan Association of America convention in Kansas City predict milk prices will rise for a year or two. Secretary H W Norton Jr says dairy cows declined from 27 million in 1940 to under 24 million, with demand rising and high beef prices reducing milking cattle. He notes dairymen are selling cows quickly and any breeding or production hiccup worsens supply.
