In accordance With Adhesion of the STATE
board of agriculture to obtain . list Of
abandoned" or farms which can be bought
very chesply, Secretary McKeen has issued
circular which reads Is follows:
Frequent inqui is hsve been made for
lists Of abandoned farms" in Maine.
while we consider this name q mig
homer, a. applicable to any considerable
extent to any lands in Maine. yet we know
IL to be true that in many of the rural dis
trieis there are farms for sale at very low
prices, considering the buildings and other
improvements upon them; and to meet the
wants Of those who are looking for homes
IN Maine, ~ we'll As in the interests of
those who have farms for sale, the board
OF agriculture undertakes the work of col
lecting and publishing list of farms for
sale in Maine with brief description and
price.
This list, or catalogue, will contain, in
addition to the list of farms for sale, de-
'cription of the State in general way, and
brief description of each county in the
State, giving the peculiar features of each
and their natural resources, character of
I'll, soil, manufactures. etc. Also such
cuts as we may be able to obtain. and prob.
ably map Of the State. Five thousand of
these copies will be issued, and 1t is ex-
pected it will circulate largely outside of
the State, as well az in our own cities and
villages.
A blank has been provided, which accom-
panies the circular. and the following ques-
tions are asked and answers requested:
Number of acres in farm; acres in
moving and tillage; acres in pasture; acres
in woodland; how fenced and condition of
fences; size OF house and state of repair !;
rooms in house and ell; sizs Of each barn
and shed number of fruit trees; trees in
sugar orchard; from what source is water
obtained for house and barns; what crops
are best adapted to your locality and espe-
ciallv to this farm; distance from and name
of railroad station distance from postof-
fee; distance from public school; price of
farm amount to be paid down; rate of in
terest on balance"
The board of agriculture seems to be
very active for the farming interests of the
State, and the proposed catalogue will
doubtless afford profitable information.

Fruit Crop Prospects.

The U. s department Of agriculture has
issued bulletin of the fruit crop prospects
up to May 18th, except in Florida. where a
full crop is expected, and lower Mississippi
and Texas, where the indications favor a
partial crop, there will be but few peaches
in the commercial orchards of the United
States lying east of the Rocky Mountains
and south of Pennsylvania. Within this
region also early blooming plums, pears,
cherries, etc., are badly damaged, as are
grapes, though the vines of the last-named
fruit are showing blossoms on new shoots
from two AZ d three-year-old wood, so that
partial crop of late clusters may be ex-
pected.
Small fruits have suffered considerably,
but will yield partial crop in most of this
region. Early apples are badly damaged
in Georgia, South and North Carolina,
Tenne ssee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Missouri,
and southern Illinois, but many winter
varieties promise fair crop in those sec
tons. Nursery stock is reported as badly
injured in North Carolina, Georgia, and
Alabama, as are young peach and plum
trees in orchards in Tennessee, Kentucky,
and southern Indiana.
North of the southern boundary line Of
Pennsylvania less damage was done, and
the outlook for peaches is good in the larger
portion of Pennsylvania and New jersey.
northern Ohio, western Michigan, and the
Hudson River district in New York. In
western New York and in the Connecticut
valley the percentage of live peach buds is
small, but with favorable weather partial
crop may be expected. Osber fruits than
the peach are little damaged north of the
latitude of Philadelphia and there is a good
prospect for fair crops.
On the Pacific Slope no serious injury to
either buds or young fruit has been report
ed and the outlook is good for full crop
of all binds, if the rainfall is sufficient to
bring it to maturity.
The new orchard districts of the Rocky
Mountain region in Utah, Idsho, Nevada,
Colorado, and Arizona have also escaped
injury, except in the last-named territory,
where some damage was done to peaches
by frosts on April Is and l6.
