V Spring Work Is Two Weeks Behind Normal WASHINGTON. -UP) T h chilly spring weather hai played hob witl. the nation'! crops. It han't done the birds and the bees much good, either. A roundup of reports from across the nation, collected by the Agri culture department, is filled with coir menu like this: Virginia f r u i t crops "heavily damaged by frosts." North Caro-Una-r"weather too cool for good plant growth." Indiana p each crop "seriously damaged. " Arkan saspastures sprouting three weeks late. Ohio o a t acreage "materially reduced." Farm work in Illinois is two weeks behind schedule. In Minne sota, growth of vegetation is "very backward," and in Kansas they're still feeding livestock from the barn because of slow grass growth. Idaho pastures are "snow." It's been too cold for good growth in Montana. Spring work is two weeks behind in Oregon. Food crops aren't the only things which have suffered. Take the daf fodil. Along about March he popped up for fresh air, after a long wi- ter underground. Instead of sun he got frost. That froze him up solid. Then he got sun. His expanded cell walls couldn't take it. He r shriveled and died. It's been just as tough on bees. They need a mild spring to gather enough honey to live on. When the dandelions and the clover and the Norway apples fail to produce on schedule the bet is overworked. He dies before his time and the time for a spring bee is only six weeks away.
