Senath trials had emergence and seedling disease problems and were 
replanted on May 27 and May 28 respectively.  The Clarkton trial was 
planted on May 10 and the Portageville gumbo trial was planted on May 
12.  The period from late June to mid September was extremely dry and 
all test locations were irrigated.
