Backward Spring Delaying Seeding

OTTAWA. May 29 —(CP)—On'e of the most backward springs in the history of Eastern Canada has

' held up seeding drastically, but the

situation la "not hopeless by any means," P. O. Ripley, Dominion husbandman, stated today.

Recommending sowing of barley and oats even as late as June 15, Dr. Ripley said late sowing in other late springs indicated it was a good idea. to maintain a large proportion of the corase grains acreages previously planned.

This spring has been abnormally unfavorable to seeding, according to records taken at the Central Ex- perlrmenttai‘ Farm. where Dr. Ripley works. Records for the months of March. April. and up to May 28 total 14.22._lnches rain. whicih is higher than for the same three months in any year on record.

Temperature in April was five degrees below the erage and this, together with abnormally cloudy weal-her, haaresirlted irn reduced evaporation. leaving the soil in a highly-saturated condition
