Bulkley Valley Crop Prospects ; (ironing Conditions Arc Auspicious Shortage of tabor May Be Problem SMITHERS, June 3: The heavy rains of last week have been fol lowed by fine warm and sunny weather and the farmers are Jubi lant over the excellent prospects of good crops this year. The grass has grown like magic during the past two weeks and, with the present moisture conditions, a good hay crop Is already assured while grains and vegetables are growing under very favorable circum stances. With ordinarily fine weather during the season the crops should mature very early this year ana this would bring the harvest into similarly fine weather. The main worry of the rarmcrs Just now seems to be the prospect of a shortage of labor for farm work and this ls likely to be a handicap as long as the war lasts at least.
