HANDL Farm Meteorologist PORTAGE VILLE Temperature trends are developed along lines more favorable for the heightened farming activity scheduled over the next 30 days. Averages over the 30-day period through Mid-May are expected to run near normal. Actually, the line separating regions expected to average above normal runs directly through the Bootheel. Precipitation is again expected to total near the normal for this period. The pace of field work quickened markedly during the past month during which rainfall was light and well spaced.

Field work is well ahead of schedule in most sections, and some land can use additional water. Major activity will be planting of cotton, soybeans and sorghum and farmers should follow the extended outlook, issued each day, as a guide for adjusting work schedules between rain periods. Average soil temperatures at seedbed depth follow closely the daily variations in air temperature this time of year. This is particularly true under sunny conditions when high daytime readings may offset cool nights and raise the average soil temperature rapidly. Similary, cool, cloudy weather will result in a significant drop in average soil temperature since subsoils have not accumulated a great amount of heat this early in the season.

Records show that near normal temperature averages for this period will run about 64 degrees for the week ending May 2, and about 66 degrees for the week ending May 9. Within this range of weekly air temperature averages we can look for soil temperatures to average about 68 degrees, particularly under a sunny, dry pattern. Some farmers were already spraying for control of alfalfa weevil early in April. High populations in Bootheel fields will require continuing attention during the next few weeks. University of Missouri Entomologists state that it may require from 1 to 2 sprays on the first cutting and a stubble spray to effectively control the larval stage of this pest.

If you have any question regarding the or method of control, contact your County Agronomy Agent for advice. Temperature trends anticipated during the next 30 days will generally favor the 60 degree requirement for effective use of chemicals. Winds are more likely to present a problem, and daily weather advisories will include forecasts of speeds and direction. As of April 18, rainfall at the Delta Center was running about 5.50 inches below the Bootheel normal since the first of March, and 3.07 inches below normal from March 29. The 50 per cent probability of rainfall indicate the following weekly amounts: Week Ending Probability April 25 0.81 inches May 2 1.72 inches May 9 1.11 inches May 16 1.31 inches Normal rainfall for the Bootheel as a whole during the PET DOCTOR By T.

Normals for individual cities are: Cape Girardeau, 4.60 inches; Dexter, 4.47 inches; Fisk, inches; New Madrid, 4.52 inches; Poplar Bluff, 4.66 inches; Caruthersville, 4.13 inches; Doniphan, 4.75 inches; Morehouse, 4.35 inches; Parma, 4.39 inches; and Sikeston, 4.42 inches.
