NOTES OF CROP CORRESPONDENTS.
Northern Central Maryland. - Bal.
timore, (E. S. Judge.) - Whilst the
upper peninsula promises a very heavy
yield of peaches, the lower portion,
especially around New Market, will be
little better off than last year Growers
attribute it to fross that injured the
stamen in its weakest moment.
Westminster, Carroll Couuty.-The
high temperature from tie 18th to the
18th had tendency to damage the
wheat before 1t was fully matured, but
ha
the accompanying fall in temperature has
ripened it up beautifully. The wet
weather of last week has retarded farm
work to some extent.
Taneytown, Carroll County Tho ex-
excessive rains from the 195h to 22d,
have caused loss of hay that had been
cured, ready for sale. The wheat crop
has been blown down so that the ma
chimes can not cut it off without a loss of
about bushels in a hundred.
Fallston, Hartford ~ounty.-After the
shower of wednesday evening, a week
ago, there was rain every day until
Tuesday 23d- Tuesday and Wednesday
fair and dry. Hear no complaint of in
jury. All conditions now favorable.
Frederick, Frederick County Wheat
badly knocked down aud tangled by
rains, rendering harvesting more diff
cult and costly. Dry temperature weather
most needed at this time. June % III,
harvesting wheat is progressing with
promise of more than average yield.
Gainesville, Baltimore County.-High
temperature, with occasional rains.

crops in this section. 1t began wet and

age.
Rutland, Anne Arundel County
Farmers were very much put back in
harvest and working corn, by rains,
which fell on Monday, Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday of last week, and Sun
day of this week. Land being too wet
to cultivate until the 25th harvest about
half over, and wheat good. Tobacco
about half planted. Corn now needs
work to make good crop, being some
what put back by harvest. Grass short
but improving.
Bristol, Anne Arundel County .-The
weather conditions for the week have
been generally favorable to growing
crops, corn and tobacco. A light shower
would benefit tobacco, as the last rain
was dried so quickly by a northwest
wind and hot sun, leaving crust,
which rather re arded the growth of
young plants just put out. Wheat har-
vest will be finished to-day.
