SOIL CONSERVATION Dry soil conditions are prevailing over large areas of Illinois as the 1956 growing season opens, according to the first crop bulletin of the year issued by the state and federal departments of agriculture. The moisture shortage is most marked in the northern one-half of the state. Dry weather has enabled farmers to make rapid progress with spring field work. Oats seeding for the state as a whole is about 60 per cent completed, as compared with only 40 per cent at this date a year ago, and the average of around 30 per cent over a term of years. About 45 per* cent of plowing for corn and soybeans has been done. The winter wheat crop came through the winter in excellent condition, with very little heaving or winter-killing. Contrasting sharply, with, conditions last year, apple and peach orchards show promise of good yelds. For Better Results McHenry.
