IN A FL0URISHING CONDITION.
New England Crops Greatly senef'e1 by
Favorable Weather OF Last Week.

Boston, June 19.-The United States
department of agriculture, climate and
crop service of the weather bureau, New
England section, issues the following
bulletin for the week ending June IS:
Boston, June 19.-Following is state
ment of the weather and crop conditions
of New England, compiled from the re-
ports of correspondents of the weather
bureau throughout the section, for the
week ending June IS:
Crops, generally speaking, are in good
condition, and in some localities are
: luXuriant With abundant sunshine
and temperature near the seasonal aver
age, together with a fair amount of pre-
cipitation in the most acceptable form,
light showers, the conditions have been
favorable for the rapid advancement of
all vegetation. Bugs, beetles, worms,
and crop pests generally, are increasing
and becoming more or less numerous.
However, up to the present writing no
serious or general injury has resulted
to crops.
The haying season is practically at
hand. Taking the district as a whole,
the prospect is very favorable to an
average crop and an excellent quality
of hay.
Winter grain continues in good con-
dition; cereals generally promise good
crops. There is little complaint of in
jury from rot or insects and with con-
tinuation of favorable weather good
crops are certain
Excepting peaches, the yield of which
will be light, conditions could hardly be
more favorable to a plenteous crop of
fruit, especially apples. Pears will be
plentiful plums a fair supply, and ber-
ries of all kinds give prospect of a boun-
tiful supply of the first quality.
Vegetables remain in promising con-
dition. Reports are very favorable to
truck farms and gardens, which promise
large yields of all kinds of vegetables.
Tobacco setting is about completed,
and cultivation has begun. The present
outlook is very favorable to the crop.

den. OF, in other words, be answerabie to
the tribunals OF the land for his action
pertaining thereto.
