! The havre-dc-Graee Republican, In it, weekly
| talks on the canned goods trade, says: "Just at
this time tho attention Of all Is turned toward the
condition of the corn and tomato crops, conflict
ing reports arc printed In which one man asserts
he never saw liner prospects aud his ncighboT
only half mile away declares there won't be
half . crop Of anything.
at Is safe TO say that no one. no matter how
good bis Judgment, Is capable Of giving anything
| like an accurate estimate uf the future crop Of
even a comparatively limited district. With corn
this IL different, one may arrive ut pretty good
suits several weeks before there D. a ear 81 90
pluck.
"TOmatoes may be looking thrifty and not bear
| ing well NJ the same time. vice With
! corn this rarely happens and when Il does occur
4 u Is apparent 60 the most casual observer. To.
matocs may recover from the effect Of very
favorable circumstances. ON August lst We may
see prospects Of very poor yield, and on Mo-
vember let Nc will have packed the largest crop
\ known, such was the experience Of last year.
Again. the early part Of the season may hold out
hopes Of an abundant yield which the end Of the
season fails Co realize verify the tomato is tickle
vegetable.
"Not 50 with corn. AZ most any time after IL 10
fairly started you can form opinion Of tho
crop. We say this in full knowledge Of the fact
that the country Is teeming with tomato prophets
ready 10 prophecy the slightest provocation.
| some say no crop worth speaking o. some say
half crop. sonc say good crop. Certainly
I with such a wide range some enc ought IN hit the
1 mark.
"The facts in regard 10 tomatoes, As nearly AZ
/ we can gather them from observation and inquiry,
| seem to be these: In nearly every the vines
have grown luxuriantly. having had early
start and an unusually moist season. Tho effect
4 VI this IL tina, the vines have ovcrgrown tho
rows. The ground has been too wet 10 cultivate
and the plants have not had sufficient working.
This will be somewhat of a drawback, should a
| hot dry season set In during August. While the
vines have been luxuriating they have failed to
blossom, consequently many apparently flourish
| ing fields have not that showing Of fruit they
4 should have. While these conditions. TO be sure.
are unfavOrable there are chances that the tomato
crop may come out all right yet.
"On the other hand II Il quite certain that there
will not be such a crop as was had last year. IL
IL quite impossible that such an unprecedented
yield can so soon again be had, therefore II now
remains q question Of acreage with the corn crop.
Many farmers can be counted that have much de-
creased their planting. 4 few can be named that
have made a slight increase. whether these will
be sufficient To- balance the account or not cannot
now be ascertaincd."
