Excerpt from Weekly Station Reports of the Office of Dry Land Agriculture Investigations, Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture: May 2, 1931The past week has been much more favorable for farming Operations and for growing vegetation than the previous one. Contrasted with the previous week, wind velocity has been very low. Temperatures were quite favorable. There, however, has'been no precipitation and in many places th soil is becoming quite dry.All of the early seeding on the rotations is completed. Also the varieties and miscellaneous grains. Seeding in the commercial fields is completed but the irrigated rotations are yet ready to seed.Quite a number of plantings were made in the landscaping around the buildings. Forty-five ash trees from the old shelter belt were planted during the week. These trees were taken out of the old shelter belt in order to thin it out. There has been quite a little killing especially among the box-elder in both the 4 x 4 and 4 x 8 plantings in the shelter belt which was put in in 1917. It was decided to take out practically all of the box-elder, some of the ash, and a few of the elm in order that cultivating might be resumed. Grass has crowded in a great deal during the last year or two and if this continues it is quite certain that most of the trees will die. Practically all of the seedling Compass cherries and Wyant plums are also being pulled out. There was quite a little killing among the plums and cherries during the last summer and during the winter.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
