Grain planted near the North
Lexington elevator over one
month ago is reported not up,
and Anderson said it should have
been up two weeks ago. Even
though rain now would cause
hardship if It were not followed
hv a nnnw cover because snrout-
lug seeds would not grow enough
to stand the cold.
"There is bound to be some
damage If we have cold weather
without snow," Joe Hay, county
agent, reported. "Many farmers
are still hoping for a rain so they
can seed." He added gooo crops
depended on snow preceding any
severe cold.
Anderson said the prospects
now are encouraging farmers to
divert more acreage to conser
vation uses, and some are con
templating converting as much
as 40 per cent In case crop con
