Reports received from various parts
Of Vermont say that grains look vigor-
Gus, but it is yet too early to judge OF
The size of the crop. Corn also is look
ing well, together with the potato crop.
The bugs, as usual, are troubling the
latter crop. Fruit does not promise
usual yield, and in some places the
crop will be the lightest of recent
years. Apple trees did not bloom as
full as common, especially on the river,
while the pear and peach trees hardly
promise fair harvest. Back on the
nils the old orchards did better in the
bloom, but as the fruit is of small ac-
,ount owing to lack of demand under
! stringent prohibitory law, this crop
$ of little consequence save to those
Who make their own cider.
