WEATHER-CROP BULLETIN,

First Report OF the season Very En-
couraging one for Crops of All Kinds.
Throughout New England the weather
of the week ending April % has been
characterized by general rains and I'M
usually high temperatures. The week
has been favorable for agricultural
interests.
At the beginning of the week the
season WAS probably late, but at its
close the concensus of opinion is that it
is early. though few correspondents
report otherwise. While there is some
snow on northern hills and on wooded
slopes it does not interfere with farming
operations. In Maine. New Hampshire
aud Vermont little planting has been
done. even on high and naturally dry
ground. Very little blowing has been
possible ia these states. the ground being
either frozen solid or too wet. In the
southern section. comprising Massa-
chusetts. Rhode Island and Connecticut,
much blowing has been done, the only
retarding element being the rains of the
week. Seeding has not being confined
to vegetables alone, but much cats has
been sown and two correspondents re-
port that the grain has terminated and
that a few fields are already green.
All winter grain is reported to be in
good condition. Rye is looking well and
growing rapidly. There will be large
acreage of oats. In Central New Eng
land but little spring grain has as yet
been sown; in north New England none.
The grass crop wntered well. The
drought of the past season Injured the
roots in northern districts, and some re-
seeding will result. Conditions are eX-
cellent for early grass. One correspond
ent from New Hampshire reports that
young cattle are now on pastures.
No adverse report of fruit has been re-
ceived. Peach. apple. cherry. plum and
pear trees promise full bloom Some
! strawberry beds were 50 seriously affect

Early vegetables are being planted,
even in Maine Truck gardeners are
busy. Early peas, yadishes, beets and
turnips are up In the southern part OF
/ the section, and one report from Rhode
Island states that early potatoes have
sprouted. Onions, turnips and cabbage
have been set,
