The CLIMATE AND CROP.
Weekly Bulletin listed For Parts
Of Maryland And
Delaware.

The week was marked BY pleasant
temperatures and comparatively dry
weather. Both maximum and mini
mum temperatures were lower than
during the previous week. Tuesday
was quite cool, being degrees below
normal at Baltimore; the temperature
rose to 2 dergees above normal on
Wednesday. With this exception the
daily means were fairly uniform. there
being no decidedly warm or cool
weather
The mean for the seven days at Bal
timore was II degrse, which was one
degree below normal. In the noun
tain districts the days were quite
warm. but the early mornings were
very cool. A little tobacco was cut
and housed in Southern Maryland,
and a few farmers have begun to Sc
cure the fodder from early corn felds.
The week, as aswhole. was very ilne
for the development OF crops and Tor
the prosecution of farm work. As
result of the rains of the previous
week. pastures improved somewhat
during the past week, and late foliage
crops made fine growth. Young
clover, timothy and COW peas also did
we'll. The seeding OF crimson clover
was continued. Some OF the early
sown fields are up nicely in the south
ern counties.
Reports regarding apples are some-
what conflicting. Considerable COM
plant is heard that the fruit is falling
and rotting badly. Much nice fruit is
found in Washington county. Con-
siderable rotting is reported and Is
thought 10 be due to the prevalence OF
wet, cloudy weather. Plums are
Welding well in North central Mary
land Bartlett pears are said to be
small, but Of good quality. Some
shipments are being made, but reports
indicate only fair yield. Tobacco
is mostly in fine condition and Is
ripening very fast. Some early fields
were cut and housed during the week.
In Anne Arundel and Prince Georges
counties some tobacco on light land
was injured by excessive rain some
time ago and is firing. Much of the
crop will likely be housed next week.
Tomatoes are quite plentiful, the vines
are thrifty and the fruit mostly of
good quality. Sugar corn is also
good crop and will soon be ready TO
can.
Some late potatoes are being dug and

The beetles are under control in Wor-
cester county and the condition of the
vines has improved. In northern
counties where much wet weather has
prevailed, some injury has resulted to
POTATOES from rot and second growth.
Blackberries are very plentiful in Gar
ret county and fairly so in other dis
tricts. Grapes are ripening and in a
satisfactory condition generally though
they seem to be rotting badly in st.
