Nationwide Crop Prospects Improve Across United States
A Weather Bureau survey finds wheat corn and cotton generally faring well nationwide with some local setbacks from weather. Prospects for the 1955 corn crop are strong, especially in the south and southern Great Plains, while moisture remains ample in eastern areas though some regions need rain. Grasshoppers and alfalfa weevil cause trouble in several states, and the European corn borer affects Delaware Massachusetts and other areas. The armyworm situation has eased compared with earlier weeks.
