Crop Conditions.

Following is the weather bureaus weekly
summary OF crop conditions:
Drought has been relieved in the South
Atlantic and East Gulf States, and beneficial
rains have fallen in Ohio and Indiana, but
rain is now needed in portions of New York
and Pennsylvania, the central portions OF
Illinois and Missouri, and in Louisiana, Ar
kansas, the Dakotas, western Nebraska and
central Colorado. Local storms, accompa-
MED by excessively heavy rains, have proved
damaging in Alabama, western Florida and
southern New jersey. Notwithstanding
these conditions, the week may be said to have
been, upon the whole, generally tavorabe'
the most unpromising reports being received
from the Dakotas, where high temperatures
aud lack of moisture are being seriously felt
While corn would be benefited by rains
in central Illinois and portions of Missouri,
Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota, the crop
has made satisfactory progress in the prlnci'
pal corn States, a marked improvement be-
ing reported from the States Of the ONO
Valley. Iowa also reports decided im-
pTovement, and the outlook in Kansas is
considered the best for number OF years.
Early corn is now matured as far north as
Missouri and southern Illinois.
AS in the previous week, hot winds with
temperatures exceeding 100 degrees have
prevailed in South Dakota, causing injury
to spring wheat by premature rpening and
shrinkage of grain and while the heat In
North Dakota has not been so excessive,
the crop has been more or less damaged.
Spring wheat has also sustained some in
Jury from hot winds in Oregon and por-
tons OF eastern Washington. Over the east
ern portion OF the spring wheat region the
crop is more promising. Harvesting is well
advanced in southern Minnesota, where the
late sown grain is filling nicely, and has
begun in southern North Dakota.
Dat harvest is nearing completion in the
more northerly sections, under very favor
able weather conditions, except in southern
Minnesota, where considerable loss will re-
suit from lodging. Fair to good yields are
generally reported

COnus Items.

In reporting upon the wheat crop, | am
happy to say that, although the Comus yield
may not reach the average, there is no Just
cause for grumbling, and that we have
plenty of wheat for home consumption and
n satisfactory quantity for shipping. Oats
are fine, and, with the recent rains, the corn
will be above an average. Potatoes were
injured by drought and will not make
full crop. The favorable report on peaches,
made by our expert last spring, will prove
fallacious; we have no peaches, and those
who have in other seasons looked to Comus
for their supply OF this fruit must seek 1t
elsewhere this year. We had bountiful
supply of all other kinds of fruit.
Visitors have made Comus unusually gay
this season, and most of our people are at
home

Profit in Capons.

The only reason | could give il | were
asked, why don't the Montgomery county
farmers caponize their fowls, would be,
they havn't heard OF IL, or don't know the
immense profits connected with it. | will
here give an idea of the extra profit over
cockerels. Say 1870 cockerels at 8 months
old, weighing 4 pounds each, or 480 pounds,
and sell them for - cents per pound, which
would net $62 40 but as they are capon-
lied, at s months old, (same age,) weigh
pounds, or 720 pounds, this a light weight
for an months capon, and sell for IL cents
per pound, and will net $l29 90. You see
this is more than 100 per cent. over the
cockerels.
Another fact | will refer you TO IN the
Poultry Magnet, on page So, June number,
signed Blake, Darlington, o., who capon.
lied % birds which averaged 10i pounds
dressed. He sent them to New York mar
ket and they sold for II cents per pound, or
$48 80. After deducting the express charges,
commission, &c the lot netted him $45 rs.
These same birds, if not caponized, would
have weighed but pounds each and sold at
the same market for 10 cents per pound, and
brought but 1913. 10, without deductng the
charges, &c.
For further Information inquire at this
office POULTRY.
