Overview

Excerpt from Weekly Station Reports of the Office of Dry Land Agriculture Investigations, Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture: May, 1930 The field work the past week has consisted chiefly of harrowing to kill the small weeds which are starting. Considerable time has been Spent in hoeing weeds in the alleys and varietal trials. The winter wheat is growing rapidly, much of it is now knee high. The winter wheats will soon be in the boot stage. Spring grains are growing nicely but not so fast as the winter grains. The permanent roots have started to form on the spring grains. In dry seasons in this section the Spring grains are brought to maturity on the temporary root system. The scii some times dries out so fast that the permanent roots do not have a chance to develop. Showers last week totaled 66 inch. The rains in the Spring are always followed by several days of cold winds. The alfalfa, clovers, and grasses have emerged with good stands. Maximum temperature 79; minimum 29; precipitation, 66 inch. The past week was a favorable one both for field work and growing vegetation. The seeding of all small grains was completed on the rotations and variety tests. Commercial fields on the station are practically seeded. Barley seeded last week is emerging. Early seedings are making rapid growth. The delay in seeding this Spring with a cultivation just ahead of the drill has apparently resulted in a very clean seedbed.
