WEAT Her CROP BULLETIN
or tho New England Weather Service for
the Past Week.


The crop correspondents almost without
exception report that the week has been
rold and wet and the season is backward.
The amount of rain fall was from three to
Tour inches over the three Southern States
Except on Cape Cod aud in southern New
Hampshire and Vermont. In northern
Vermont and New Hampshire and southern
Maine the amount was from one to two
inches and eastern Maine less than one
half inch. The reports in all the central
aud western sections indicate much damage
to roads and fields by the RAIN and to the
trees and buildings by the high wind.
The greatest damage was probably
done in the river valleys OF western Massa
chusetts and Vermont and New Hamp-
Ihire where lands were submerged and
bridges carried away. In the eastern coun
ties the rain, not being so heavy, was de-
rided benefit, especially on high land. 1t
took out the frost, settled the fields and
gave the grass good start.
In the three southern states grass is start
ing well and new seeded fields especially,
look very well. Some blowing is being
done and gardens and few field crops
planted.
Considerable stock has been turned out
and tho feed in pastures is pronounced very
good.
In the Forth the frost is not wholly out of
The ground, and there is still considerable
NOW in the woods. Grass is just showing
groen, and stock has to be fed from the
barn yet. Very little work has been done
on the ground.
Reports from Maine indicate that tho
lumbermen are taking advantage of the full
streams to drive their logs. The continued
cold, wet weather has retarded farmswork
very much, but it has given the grass a
good start and has served to hold the fruit
buds in check SO there is not much danger
of damage by frost. There was a sharp
frost throughout eastern Massachusetts, on
the morning OF the Sth, while farther north
the ground frose to considerable depth.
