"What can 1 plant this late and have a reason-- able chance of getting a crovp?" is a question that is being asked by farmers in every section of the state. _ Delayed by a cold, rainy May. many farmers made a desperate at-- tempt to catch up with their work and planted their crops in poorly prepared seed beds, on many of which the weeds and grasses had not even been killed out, Mr. Hac-- kleman said.. These have proved highly attractive to army worms and many of the crops that were plart-- ed have been given a severe setback and in a few cases totally destroyed by the pest. 'The unusually heavy rains of June and the consequent high waters have further delayed farm work and now with summer well under way, many fields are green only with weeds when they should be growing grain. Feed Crops Offer Escape. "Although the season is unusual-- ly late, there are still some crops that have a chance to make seed, as well as a number that can be used as forage or fed whole, either as hay, fodder or as silage.
