Farmers Hope For Delayed Planting To Catch Up
Frederick county farmers face one of the latest planting seasons due to a harsh winter and wet April. If weather stays favorable, seed beds ready by late April, with May 10 as typical planting time for grain and hay. Many plan corn in April but may delay to June, hoping late planting reduces insect damage and aligns with spring warmth. The Apple Blossom Festival looms as orchards await showers, and Frederick county will be well represented at the event.

Losses Inflicted Upon German Forces Continued Report
The report notes a German ship evaded the British blockade and entered Trondheim fjord with supplies. Narvik’s Arctic port status is precarious as fighting unfolds across Norway with small mobile units equipped with automatic weapons. Norwegian high command says Norwegians, aided by British troops, occupy new positions astride the Dubrandsdalen valley after a 30 mile withdrawal. Swedish dispatches say British control tightens on Storen 35 miles away, while German destroyers shell near Stinkjer 50 miles north in inner Trondheim fjord.
