Snow Helps Wheat, Softens Range Feed Snow in Nebraska's panhandle last week brought “some benefit ’ to winter wheat, government crop observers said. And although the crop is maintaining its high average condition, there is still need of moisture before the wheat goes into the dormant stage for winter, according to the state-federal division of agricul tural statistics. Most of the 2 to 4 inches of snow which fell over the pan handle November 30 and Decem ber 1 remained on the fields. Val entine received the most snow— irne inches. A little western Nebraska wheat hasn’t enough growth for protection against wind, but most of the crop has an unusually good top growth as well as root devel opment. The moisture need is greatest in southwestern and cen tral Nebraska. Other crop report observations: The dry, mild autumn has spurred most farm work. Consid erable plowing and liming of soil has been done. The highest yield of milo re ported to the office so far was 114 bushels per acre, from a south-central Nebraska field. One central Nebraska report says farmers with irrigation wells have been watering alfalfa and wheat fields. Pasture conditions showed lit tle change last week, although snow removed the dust and soft ened range feed. Autumn weather has been fa vorable for feeding livestock and for fall farrowing. October cattle slaughted totaled 152,000 head compared with 161,000 in October last year. November was warm and dry, with temperatures averaging about two degrees above normal in the southwest, to more than eight degrees above in the north central portion.
