Statement from Each County Showing
Amount of Loss in the Grain Crop.
Some time since Edwin NJ. Smith Secre
tary of the State Agricultural Society, wrote
to parties throughout the State, whom he
thought were competent to judge, for an
estimate of the loss to crops caused by the
rains in the month of June He furnishes
the following for publication: Below /
furnish you a complete list of losses to hay
and grain crop, as returned from CORE
spondents throughout the State. The losses
are confined to expense in harvesting and
in quantity, while the quality will exceed
any year vet harvested. The average loss
will be in hay 90 per cent, wheat 153 per
cent. and barley IS per cent. The average
rainfall is 1.94 inches. Grain heretofore cut
with headers will now have to be raised by
attaching litter, while in many instances
where grain is unusually rank it will have
10 be moved which fact will increase cost
of thrashing:
