WEATHER AND CROP CONDITIONS

WEA 1ILN AMI OIVOI NONOl11ONO
During the week ending Monday, Aug.
21st, the temperature and sunshine have
been below the normal, excessive cloudi-
ness and high humidity prevailing.
Light showers fell in the southern, and
in a small area of the northern, while
none fell in the northern portion of the
southern and middle sections.
The growing and maturing crops are
reported to be in excellent condition, al
though the excessive cloudiness has not
been favorable to the latter. Corn has
continued to gain in points, so much so,
that many correspondents predict that
the yield will be larger than for a num-
Der of years past
Pasture and meadow fields are very
much improved; in some sections the
second crop of clover is now being har-
vested. Fall blowing is progressing, and
in some places nearing completion. A
large acreage of grass and clover has
been seeded during the week in the
southern'section. Orchard fruits are do
ing better since the rains; the apples will
be good in quality pears very good
peaches fair and generally understood,
owing to drouth early in the season
grapes are very promising, and the yield
will be unusually large. Cranberries
are not 50 promising; in some boys in
Atlantic County, the grasshoppers and
crickets have destroyed the entire crop.

Nearly all of the South Jersey tomato
canneries are now in operation. The
packers in South Jersey contracted with
the farmers at an advance over last year
of fifty cents to one dollar ton for
tomatoes, the price this year ranging
from $3.50 to 81 per ton. The price of
tin cans has nearly doubled in six
months A number of packers sold very
little in advance, but placed orders for
their cans six months ago, before the
price advanced. One of these made a
clean saving on cans alone of $4,000.
