Percentage to


The grain crop promises to be better
than last year. and above the average of
previous seasons. The yield of oats,
wheat and barley is especially heavy The
cereal crops have been generally secured
and the harvest is an abundant one. The
growth of corn and potatoes is heavy in
most CounCics. Some sections, where rain
has been less abundant, report "a light
growth of corn. The harvest season IS a
backward one, and corn is late in matur.
ing but considerable corn has already been
harvested. Several severe frOsts have Wis
tied different parts of the State and blight
ed the growing crops to a slight extent.
With Il few warm days and freedom from
frosts, nearly an average corn crop will
be harvested. Potatoes in nearly every
county show heavy growth of vines.
Early varieties yielded well, and the crop
yet to be dug promises to be a large one.
About ten per cent of the farmers making
returns report rot or rust as having struck
the potato fields in their vicinity. The re
cent rains have increased the danger of
rot in potatoes, and the crop will proba-
bly, be a little less than the average, or
about ninety per cent of IA full crop Pc
tato bugs have been less troublesome than
formerly, but they have succeeded in do
ing little damage to the growing crop

VERMONT CROP REPORT.
A Fairly Abundant Harvest and an Era of
Prosperity Dawning.

While the present season has been Il
discOuraging one for farmers in many re
spectS, reports from the different sections
of this State show that as whole. crops
in Vermont have turned out much better
than was expected. The greater bulk OF
the hay crop was secured IN good condi-
ton and ii is reported to be mostly of II
superior quality. Up to July !, the indl-
cations were that the hay crop would be
at least UnefOurth to one-third less than
an average one. The frequent showers
durnc the first half of July prevented
the farmers securing much hay. In some
counties the standing grass had at that
time reached maturity, consequently it
was moi materially improved by the July
rains, tut in others great Improvement
resulted, some farmers reporting the in
creased growth as beng from 20 10 40 per
cent. ON the whole, il Is safe to assume
that the aggregate hay crop was increased
at least 10 per cent by the rains in July.
About 40 per cent of the farmers
max ny returns of the hay crop reportnear-
ly an average yield, Sixty per cent re
port the crop below the average of for.
mer years. The average annual hay crop
for The past decade has been about ,O75,
600 tons The crop of 1855 is about 10 per
cent snort-or, i'll round numbers, go, 900
tons. A succession of dry seasons for sew
eral years and the damage caused by
graSshOppers and the white grub in this
and previous seasons have resulted in Il
diminished yield of hay in some counties
the present season. A large second crop
of hay has already been secured. The
following is the estimate OF the Journals
Vermont correspondent by counties, of the
hay crop Tor 1883 and the percentage of
yield to full crop:

Buckwhcat is looking finely, and there is
an increased acreage this year The crop
will be above the average. Beuns are
rusting badly, and the crop Will be less
than the average of former seasons. The
growth of fodder corn is heavy ana the
gathered crop large. Considerable corn
was planted for ensilage, which Is IN
creasing in favor rs Il food for cattle.
FAN feed was never better ut this sea-
son of the year than it is at the present
time. The copous rains of the middle
and latter portion of the season have Kept
the pastures green and luXuriant. Pits-
turage is generally reported rs beng near
ly as good as in June. Recent rains and
storms somewhat damaged the grain
crop in Western Vermont, but the per-
centage of loss by the wet weather was
comparatively small.
The yield of orchard products is, in the
State at large, reported to be less than the
average of an "otf' year. About one-half
of the fruit growers reporting, state that
the apple crop will he from % to 30 per
cent less than full crop. In the Cham
plain Valley many fruit growers report
nearly an average yield. Windsor Wash
ington, Orange and Windham county far
mers report II fair crop of apples. The APP
pie crop in the State will probably be one
third less than usual. one of the largest
fruit growers in Vermont, Mr.. b. f. Van
Welt of Shelburn, will gather some 2OOO
barrels OF apples from his orchard this
season, which is about an average crop.
Less wheat is being raised in Vermont
than formerly, many farmers sowing bar
ley or any other grain instead. About
100000 bushels of rye are raised annually in
in the State Hops are grown to limited
extent and Il small quantity of tobacco is
raised in Wlndham county. The dairy
interest is langushing. Although the
price of butter has been lower the past
season than for a number of years, about
the usual amount has been made. The
sheep raising industry is much prostra-
ted. Many farmers are abandoning wool
growing and selling their tlocks. Wool is
very low and farmers find no profit in the
business at present prices.

the harvest of 1885 is based on returns
made of secured crops and the condition
