TILE wEArnER AND THE CROPS.

TIE WEATHER AND The SltOfo.
The weather-crop bulletin of the New En-
gland Meteorological Society, in co-opera-
tion with the United States Signal Service,
for the week ending Saturday, July 9th,
1889, says; Generally, the weather during
the week was favorable to all crops but hay
and oats. The unusually hot weather during
the early part of the week, proved most
timely and beneficial to vegetation. Corn
made remarkably good progress in all parts
of the district In Connecticut. rye is ready
to harvest, and the crop will be above the
average. There has been too much rain and
too little sunshine for hay making. The ex-
cessive precipitation has not been SO injuri-
Gus as the lack of sunshine and generally
muggy weather. In many places through
central New Hampshire and western Maine,
the cut crop has lain so lOnS that grass has
grown through the swaths. In the central
Connecticut valley, hay that had been cooked
was injured by the excessive moisture. In
southern New Hampshire, it is estimated
that one-quarter of the first quality hay has
only crop, besides hay, that has suffered
from the wet weather. In that crop rusting
continues, and is reported more general than
in former weeks. In the southern part of
the district, grass, rye and oats were lodged
southeastern Massachusetts,, cranberries
have suffered slightly from worms and the
cold weather of former weeks, but an aver
age crop is expected. In the southern part
of New England, cherries have begun to rot,
and in the central part small berries are suf-
fering in like manner. Potato bugs are in
creasing in number, but are doing no serious
damage. In Connecticut, tobacco is grow
ing rapidly"
Reports were received from Maine towns
as follows: Winslow, crops growing well,
grass improving all the time; North Bel
grade, all crops doing well; East Sumner,
much partly made hay injured; Brunswick,
grass ripening quite fast.
