Coolest in 81 Years.

Reviewing the fall and winter condi-
tlons the bulletin says
The past winter was the coldest IN 81
years. the average deficiency In tempera-
ture for the three months December.
January ana February, being greater than
for any winter since 1917, when the au-
thentic Instrumental records for Baltimore
and vicinity begin.
While the season of 1908 was not marked
by a total failure Of any crop. practically
all crops yielded considerably below the
average, both in quantity and quality.
with a winter OF almost unprecedented
severity following a season Of such trying
conditions for the agricultural interests
and eliminating in an unusually late
spring. h Is not surprising that the farm
ers OF Maryland and Delaware face the
coming year with sense of anxiety and
even Of dependency.
During September. wheat seeding made
average progress in ahe western districts
only, being delayed over the remainder OF
tho section by heavy rains about the
middle OF the month and by the iateness
Of the corn crop, much OF which was
injured by frost. October was quite mild
and pleasant. though precipitation was
greatly in excess during the first half of
the month These abundant rains gave
excellent pasturage through the month
bur still further delayed seeaing and re-
suited in decreased acreage OF whoaG.
Probably half Of the entire acreage of
wheat was not sown until late in October,
and owing to adverse conditions, the con-
trast between the late and the early sown
wheat has been very marked through the

LARGE ACREAGE
OF POTATOES
is PROMISED IN DELA WARE land MARY
JUST LSSUED-fANY PEAS PLANTED

The United States Department Of Agri-
culture Climate and Crop Bulletin OF the
Weather Bureau for the section Of Mary
land and Delaware contains much inter-
esting information regarding crops IN
this vicinity.
Fair Fruit Crop.
Regarding the conditions an April it
says:
The temperature for the decade aver
aged slightly above normal. The weather
was quite favorable for growth. but
too wet for p.owing and planting except
on the uplands. The season being several
weeks late, farming operations have been
pushed rapidly
Wheat Is showing surprising improve
ment. In extreme western Maryland 1t is
reported to be in fine condition; elsewhere
early wheat promises fair harvest, but
late wheat is neary everywhere too thin
and weak to yield satisfactorily slower
seeding was about competed ehrly in the
month; some OF the early sown had
sprouied in northern districts and was
killed By the freezing weather of the 2nd
and 3rd. Meadows are starting nicely,
very iittlo grass having been killed. Early
potatoes have mostly been painted. and
"A large acreage IS promised IN southern
Maryland and Delaware. Ground is being
prepared for oats, but very little sowing
has been done. A good dead OF early gard
ening has been done. Peas have been
planted in tho canning districts IN south
ern counties and are coming up. The fruit
crop Is still safe and In most sections
promising; though many peach buds were
killed in northern counties, enough appear
to have survived to insure a fair crop.
The month SO far has been favorable
for handling last seasons tobacco crop,
and this springs pants are coming up.
The sugar season In western Maryland
has given fair returns Strawberry beds
are being set I'm southern districts and
the old beds are IN excellent condition.

III Minnea polls Chamber of Commerce,
July 27.-Strengthened by the foreign adj
xices wheat was firm and higher at the
Opening and proof against all early eff
forts towards decline. September passed
S9c and was almost stationary against
sales of numerous small lots, easing Oft
fractionally, but firming again on the APP
spearance of any buying. Consols were
down and Liverpool wheat was up clos
ing q to Id higher and there were more
reports of the straining of the Russian
English relationship and nervousness
over fear of possible turn for the worse.
Moreover the foreign crop reports OF yes
terday and today were none too gooo.
Russian French German and English
crop advtces are of conditions much less
Favorable than could be desired and not
only are former reports OF damage 1ully
confirmed but the foreign wheat crop sit
uation appears, if anything, even less
promising than a week ago. American
crop advices show no change of impor-
tance. The weather over night was Ia
worable, clear in the southwest except
for showers In Nebraska and eastern
Iowa Temperatures range from A to 81
In the northwest and from 81 to Go in
the southwest The forecast Is for fair
weather tonight and Thursday for Min
lnesota. A'+
81 Rust reports were a later feature. They
came from South Dakota principally with
some also from Minnesota and number
from around Wahpeton, N. D. Inc
wheat is said to be showing the effect OF
the few days of hot weather that fol-
lowed the heavy rain and to bear signs OF
rust over a wide extent Of territory. Sep
tember had eased off to $3.50 but these
Reports lifted it above S9Mc. .-.a-
