4 a the tbibvxe may 17 1973 seeding bogged down by too much rain aa wall agricultural representative- for york county newmarket after a great start seeding has bogged down with so much rain and we are ending up a bit behind schedule for the bulk of the corn crop instead of being ahead still its good to see a lot of spring grain up at this date in may along with wheat and hay making good progress alfalfa in low fields was hit hard this winter some fields in the queensville keswick district wore killed completely and most were thinned badly it demonstrates again that good snow cover is necessary to protect plants overwinering on soils where drainage isnt the best these fields can be put right back into alfalfa by direct seeding with special effort to get a fine firm seedbed and some spray to knock off the weeds another idea is to use an annual crop like a sudan sorghum to make up the supply of roughage feed storage used to be a problem with this crop because extra silo space was needed however our experience with stacks or piles gets better all the time and this could be an answer for an emergency plastic covers along with lots of old tires make the dif ference a new practice
