along with higher temper atures during the first two weeks of july have transformed the situa tion into one which looks promis ing spring grains have stretched up a bit and are filling well in short they promise at least a nor mal crop even more encourag ing is the general improvement in the pastures and the manner in which the aftermath on the mead ows is coming along with a continuation of present weather conditions prospects are excellent for a good second crop of alfalfa which is badly needed on the majority of halton farms to supplement the short first crop the first crop of hay in general is pretty well off although here and there particularly in north halton there is the odd operator who still has considerable acreage to take off fall wheat was binder ripe last week and a number of fields were observed in stook last weekend combining of the crop will likely be general this coming- week inci dentally the heads in general arc on the short side which does not auger well
