COMPLAINT OF DROUGHT.
Maine the Only State Where 1t Affects
Agricultural Pursuits.

Agricultural Pursuits.
Boston, Sept. 6.-The weather the past
week was very warm and sultry, WITH
however, more sunshine and less mois-
ture than during the preceding week.
The general conditions have favored ag-
ricultural pursuits, and farm industries
have progressed accordingly. Advan-
tage was taken of these conditions to
finish the harvesting Of over-ripe grain,
securing the second crop of hay, cutting
tobacco and to further general work,
which Jagged during the wet weather.
The precipitation was by far the light
est for several weeks, yet the only COM
plant of drought is from Maine, where
wells and springs are failing, streams
running low, and pastures and meadows
drying.
Good weather has favored the harvest
ing OF grain, which has advanced rapid
ly, with the end In view. The securing
Of buckwheat Is at its height. The
crop Is reported as good, and in many
sections large. Reports are unanimous
in favor of large corn crop. Sweet
and the field variety is being picked and
the stalks cut, especially in southern
sections. Fall ploughing and seeding are
In progress. At Hawleyville, Conn,
re-seeding will be required, due to dry
weather in June. The present con-
ditions presage successful operations in
fall farming.
OF occ Luz hao
been secured during the week. 2owen
is unusually large, in many sections
almost equal to the first crop. Hunga-
rian grass Is also good and secured In
good condition.
Apples continue to improve in color
and quality. In scattered sections the
yield will be large, though the crop will
average very light. Pears, plums.
peaches and grapes are uneven in quality
and quantity The weather has i'm
proved cranberries, though less than an
average crop is indicated. DR.. Fischer
of Fitchburg reports fruit ripening seven
days later than the average for AZ years
and two days later than in 1897.
While there is more or less complaint
of rot and rust in potatoes, the crop will
be fully up to the average. Digging
is in progress in many sections. Garden
vegetables continue abundant, but to-
matoes fail to ripen properly in many
fields. In the southern states celery
is nearly ready for the market. Beans,
onions and vines are generally satisfac-
tory.
Tobacco is probably threefourths
harvested and in good condition. Cor
respondents at Leeds, Mass. state that
the crop is as good as ever grown in
that vicinity. In the neighborhood OF
West Simsbury Conn.,, the crop Is the
best for eight years.
