FRUIT COMPLETE FAILURE

The farmers of Ohio and West
Virginia are now In the midst o.
the early harvest season. The uu
merous rain storms of the past ter
days have delayed the July wheat
crop considerably and In many
instances has gotten dead ripe be-
fore 1t was cut.
The clover crop should have
been cut from ten days to two
weeks ago. but the rapidlty with
which the wheat ripened and the
rains have delayed this work
Many of the fields have ripened
and the stock fallen down, thu:
causing considerable loss.
The hay crop promises to be
heavier than first anticipated. The
recent rains caused the timothy to
thicken up and the crop will be Of
excellent quality and more than
was thought possible some weeks
ago.
Oats promises to make an i'm.
msnse crop this season surpas'

The weather nas been particularly
favorable for the growth of this
crop.
Corn Is row doing better, though
the early part of the season was
very much against this product.
The hot days warm nights and
soaking rains have started 1t tc
growing nicely, however, and un-
less drought should set In soon
the crop will be about the average,
The berry crop Is now coming into
market. Rsspberries have been ol
excellent quality and very plentiful.
The blackberry crop will be the
largest for years.
Other fruits will be very scarce
In Ohio and West Virginia APP
pies are plentiful In only a few
places Peaches are almost an abb
solute failure and the other fruits
were generally killed by late frosts.
Potatoes promise a fine crop In
most places and the acreage Is
greater than far many years past.
