Reports received from various parts of Yer
mont say that grains look vigorous, but il is
vet too early to Judge of the size of the crop.
Corn also is looking well, together with the
potato crop. The bugs, as usual, are troub-
ling the latter crop. Fruit does not promise
a usual yield, and in some places the crop will
be the lghtest in 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
hills the old orchards did better in the bloom,
but as the fruit is of small account owing to
a lack of demand under a stringent prohibi-
tory law, this crop is little consequence save
to those who make their own cider.
