Related for Rosh Hashanah 15:11
והתנן באחד בניסן ר"ה למלכים ואמרינן למאי הלכתא ואמר רב חסדא לשטרות
But how then does the other [R'Eleazar] account for the words, the valleys are covered with corn? - That refers to the early ones, whose conception takes place in Adar. Now according to R'Meir, there is no difficulty; the text says, 'The rams mount the sheep', to wit at the time when 'the valleys are covered with corn', but there are some also [which do not conceive till] they shout aloud and sing'.
Tosefta Rosh Hashanah (Lieberman)
At the beginning of the year, all who have come into the world are passing before him [god] as a military unit; because it says: "He created their heart together" etc. And it says [further]: "Blow the horn on the new moon, at the full moon of our festival". And it says [further]: "For this is the statute of Israel, the law of the God of Jacob". Has the court sanctified the month, the process begins before him, and if the court has not done so, the process does not begin.
