Entered as second-class matter January 26, 1943, at the post-office at Wareham, Massachusetts, under the Act of March 3, 1878 FRESH FROM THE FSELDS Compiled by C. J. H. MASSACHUSETTS May Frost Loss One Percent May, or more explicitly the lat- ter part, proved very troublesome and worrisome to growers. Warn- ings were sent out for nine nights, but there were many other border- line periods, so there was not much relaxation for either growers or those at the Experiment Station who were figuring whether to send out a warning, or not. Actual loss, however, for the month was chalk- ed up as one percent. Temperatures Above Normal As to monthly temperature the figure was one and a half degrees a day above the norm for May. But, the most of the higher than normal readings were in the early and part of the month. The ending was definitely a chilly one. Rainfall Sufficient Rainfall totalled inches, but a good deal of this occurred in the earlier portions of May. Precipita- tion was not spaced as well as could be desired. Getting Dry By ending of May and at the start of June things were begin- ning to be a little too dry. This in spite of the extremely heavy pre- cipitation of the previous months from the first of the year. If growers hadn't forgotten last year's disastrous drought (and most hadn't) it was a good remind- er of what could happen again this summer. May Be Heavier Blackheaded Fireworm came in early, some of this infestation be- ing reported by mid-May. It was very abundant. Other insects were showing up by the first part of 9Â¥- June. Growers were combatting the pests. It is feared there may be considerable trouble this season, due, for one thing, to the open win- ter. Bo
