SAYS CROPS
IMPROVING
Austin, Nov. 17, (UP).—The U-S
Department of Agriculture at Aus-
tin reports that small grain, winter
legume and pasture uroapccts have
unproved over the eastern third of
Texas following recent spotty show-
er:, which increased moisture re-
serves over mast of the area.
Toe IT FDA says fc.i its weekly
crop and weather bulletin that
"light to heavy showers” over the
southern counties of the low rol-
ling plains, cross timbers, central
blatkiands and eastern plateau
have "revived hopes for small
grains in those a rails."
The USOA says dry-land Wheat
Is holding on in the high plains
but “needs moisture very soon.”
Early-planted small grains in the
northern blnrklands and eastern
and southern counties are supplying
an increasing amount of grazing
with supplemental feeding tapering
out as pastures improve in these
areas.
Cotton harvest in the northwest
and tnvs-Pecos Is continuing
without interruption. Grain sorgunl
harvest on the high plains is con
tlnuing with only a limited acreage
remaining in the fields.
Growth of peanuts in South Tex-
as has been checked by recant low
temperatures. Harvest of the small
pecun crop has been active ns well
as digging of sweet potatoes.
Conditions continue generally
favorable for commercial vegetables
in South Texas except for continu-
ed rains that have inter! erred
with cultivation of tomatoes.
