THE CROPS IN MAINE.
All UP to the Average with the Ex-
ception Of Grass.

LEWISTON, June 23.-The Lewiston Jour
nal publishes crop broadside giving the ag-
ricultural outlook in Maine. The early sum-
mer's outlook for cultivated crops is general
ly good. A fairly good crop of hay is al
ready assured, although in some sections of
the State. grasses were damaged by winter
killing. Such is the fact in Penobscot Coun-
ty A larger area has been planted to corn
than formerly, owing to the growth of the
sweet corn interest. The usual amount of
potatoes have been planted and the crop is
showing we'll
There is slight increase of acreage of
sown land which may be attributed to the
plowing of winter killed grass lands. The
season is a week later than last year and the
late dry weather in portions Of the State
has somewhat affected the grass crops. Crops
of all kinds are coming forward very fast.
The apple crop, as indicated by the bios
SONS, may be rated at a full average of bear
ing year. The reports show that Maine or
chardists are gradually coming to use insec-
ticides for the destruction of the c0dlng
worms. With the exception of grass, all the
crops give promise of a fall average.

tation, composing the representatives of the

movement. Today they really did not know
the object of their meeting, as Harrison had
been practically defeated by the adjourn
ment yesterday. However, after various
speakers had addressed the meeting upon
the impossibility Of nominating any man
but Blaine, they appointed a committee to
take the situation into consideration, and to
present to the conference committee a ticket
which, If the members saw fit, they could
report back to their delegations with the re-
