Corn is also doing we'll in this section
of the state and In the nelghboTlng COM
munitles of Ohio and Pennsylvania, but
the fruit crop generally speaking is not
up to the average, Apples, especially,
are going to be short and Of poor quail
ity. Apples continue to drop from the
trees, There is very large tomato
crop and the catsup factories begin re-
Ceiving them this week.
The indications are that wheat will
command an unusually high figure this
fall on accouont OF the prospective
heavy exports to Europe. At present
new wheat commands 20 cents in the
Wheeling market
The weekly crop bulletin issued by
Director Ball, of the West Virginia sta
ton of the agricultural department, Is
as follows:
The temperature during the fore part
OF the week was considerably above the
normal and the weather very sultry
and oppressive. Local thunder storms
We're frequent and in some counties
were very heavy The correspondent
from Gllmer county reports a very
heavy storm on the ith which did great
damage to corn and some damage to
fruit and hay stacks. In most of the
counties the weather during the early
part of the week was unfavorable for
hay making and for finishing the oats
harvest. A change to falrer and cooler
weather gave excellent opportunity for
this work and at the close Of the week
nearly the whole of the hay and oats
have been secured, generally in good
condition. There are few complaints
of the hay curing badly owing to the
wet weather The crop Is generally n
heavy one but the quality Is perhaps
below the average owing to the pres
ence OF weeds.
The weather has been very favorable
to the corn, and this crop Is reported
as in q very promising condition over
the greater part of the state. In many
counties 1t has been laid by and this
work win soon be finished In all parts
Of the state.
Wheat threshlng continues in the val
ley counties and is well under way In
the interior. Reports show very sat-
isfactory yield In all counties. In many
1t Is reported as unusually good.
BuclSwhcat Is reported In good condl-
ton and growing fast, and In the south
ern counties millet is said to be doing
well.
Apples and peaches are scarce In most
of the counties west of the Alleghenles,
In the eastern Panhandle the crop Is
reported as fairly good and in many
places fruit Is said 10 be plentiful.
Grapes continue rottlng, Some corre-
spondents say the crop will be very
light in their sections,
Gardens continue in good condition
and vegetables are plentiful.
