TUESDAY, JULY 16, 1037 Crops In Jersey Benef itted By Light Rain ALTON EVENING TELEGRAPH ranging from one-twentieth to one-fifth of an Inch fell In various Jersey County areas Monday morning. Farmers reported that the rain was of great benefit and dampened the top of the ground in fields where the top soil had dried out during the period of dry weather. Reports over the weekend indicate some improvement in the condition of corn over that of a week ago. Numerous tracts that were quite yellow because of excess rainfall following planting had benefited by the dryer weather and the fact thaf cultivation had been carried out. A healthier shade of green was developing in some such planted areas.

Soybean plantings were still being continued in the county with a major portion of the acreage being planted listed as quite late. Many farmers were figuring they would use the crop for soybean hay in case the beans could not mature before killing frost arrives. Red clover outlook where the wheat and winter barley, has been combined and straw removed continues the best in many years. Much of this crop is blooming and some farmers are tempted to cut it this summer and bale for hay. Others are contemplating clipping the crop and leaving it on the ground with the chance of the plants stooling out and blooming more extensively to produce a pos- seed crop.
