WEEK ENDING SEPT. ~, 1905

TEMPERATURE The temperatures Of the
past week we're generally slightly above
the average. principally due to lack OF low
minimum temperatures, only light frosts
occurring anywhere 10 the section. The
deficiency Of sunshine was noticeable
throughout New England, which, In q
measure, accounts for the moderate night
temperatures. The average temperatures
st Boston was $50, or 80 above the normal
for the past 81 years, and 50 above the aver.
age for the corresponding week Of 1904.
The extremes at this station were so on
the 22nd, and 4So on the 24.h.
PRECIPITATIoN.-rh The precipitation the
past week was not at all evenly distributed,
being heaviest In Maine and New Hamp-
shire, decreasing to the southwark. In all
cases 1t WAS ample, and added to the exces
sive precipitation Of the past two weeks,
caused great Inconvenience to farmers by
delaying farm work, besides caused tobacco
and potatoes to rot badly. In certain parts
Of the section, oil lowlsnds are too wet to
be entered. Along the coast high winds
accompanied by rainfall, dong some
damage to corn and fruit.
CONDITION OF Crops Crop conditions,
taken AZ q whole. present decidedly fav-
orable outlook. The yield Of small grain
was fully up to, II not above, the average
for many years past. The corn situation Is
excellent; buckwheat gives every promise
of fine yield garden truck has produced
good results; fruits have been fair; tobac-
co, while not presenting good condition as
It did two weeks ago, will be fully up to
the average; and hay and fall seed we're
never better throughout the entire section.
GRATN.-Corn ID In excellent condition,
and silos are being filed with an exception
ally fine quality Of corn. Sweet corn 10 be-
Ing marketed at canning factories in large
quantities, and the quality and yield are
good. Field corn 10 well advanced and
practically out Of the way Of frost, and will
be decidedly good crop. Buckwheat 10
making good progress and gives every In
dication Of large yield.
GRAss.--First growth Of grass is har-
vested and the results have been very fav-
orable, In fact, record one. Rowen Is Of
abun dant growth and, while the weather
has been too vet for harvesting this crop,
9 good yield will be gathered. Fall feed IL
excellent In oil parts Of New England, and
live stock Is In good condition.
FRuIr.-Except for apples, fruit pros
poets are good. Piums, peaches and pears,
will be good crops, although few reports
Of rottiDg of peaches on the trees have been
received. Grapes are ripenIDg and good
results are being obtained. Crsnberries
are a fair crop, and prospects are brighter
than they were week ago, ~ no damaging
frosts have occurred.
VE6ETABLEs.-GArden truck has pro-
duced good results this year, ard excep!
for excessive rottipg Of potatoes, no dis.
features have appeared. This
rottiag appears TO be quite general and the
results will greatly Affect ths total Yield.
Many felds will not be dug, as the ground
In some localities has been Ia . ts.urated
for the past month.
