Citizens bank. | “Winter rye, flax, and barley are in good shape and/ more of it was sown than in 1927. The wheat acreage has decreased, however, with the oats acreage/ about normal. Corn acreage will be increased. There is also a tendency to increase dairying and poultry) production.” Increased Rye Acreage | An acreage of about 8,000 acres sown to winter rye is reported by . M.

The rye acre-/ age represents an increase of about 10 per cent, he said. | “Moisture condition of the soil in) most sections is ideal,” Oefstos sai: “with the physical condition good.

The crop outlook for 1928 in La Moure county is very promising, says the State Bank of Grand Rap- ids. The acreage of wheat, oats, barley, flax and corn is believed to be about normal. “Livestock condition is good,” the bank said. “There is a tendency to increase the livestock production, which is also noticeable in the breed- ing of hogs.” Weather Backward In the central and eastern part of La Moure county the seed planted deep in the ground, getting the bene- fit of the moisture a few inches) below the surface, is very encourag- ing, but weather conditions gener- ally have not favorable for wth, the Farmers and Merchants tate bank of Berlin said.
