Santa Fe, n. NJ. June 23.-The past
week was characterized by general
showers in the earlier part and clear
ing weather with higher temperature
than any time this season during the !
latter part. The warm weather follow
ing the rains has started all vegetation
into rapid growth. The prairies, es.
p~ecially in the northern part of the ter
ritory. appear at a distance almost as
green as grain fields. and all reports
indicate an assurance of good grazing
for the remainder of the season. Corn,
which has been very backward on &C
count of the COO weather, has begun
a rapid growth, and even on unirrigat-
ed lands promises a good stand.
Wheat, oats and barley are growing
rapidly; in the extreme south wheat Is
headed out, but in some northern coun
ties farmers are still planting peas,
beans and oats, expecting a crop on ac-
count of the moist condition of the
soil. The first cut of alfalfa is general
" in, but a good deal of it was some
what damaged by the showers after
being cut.
The cool weather accompanying the

loss of lambs, and sheep which had
been sheared before the rains started.
In the central and southern sections,
where shearing was we'll under way
before the rains, the loss is quite con-
siderable. 1t seems that on the higher
plateaus of southern counties the late
> frosts have almost entirely destroyed
the fruit crop.
