FAVORABLE WEATHER.
New England Crop in Good Conditions
Corn Outlook Very BRIGHT.


Boston. Sept. 1S.-Thc weekly crop bull
letin of the New England section Of
tho climate and crop service Of the wea-
ther bureau says. Generally favora Bile
weather conditions prevailed throughout
the New England section during the past
week. The rainfall was ample in all
localities except northern Maine. and the
temperatures were moderate. Except for
some high winds along the coast. no
damaging conditions werc reported. Hail
occurred in Vermont and Maine in small
quantities. but did no damage.
CONDITION OF CROPS.
AS result OF ample precipitation and
the prevailing moderate temperatures the
past week. all crops show an improved
condition. particularly corn, which has
made excellent advancement. High winds
along the coast did some damage. but
not to any serious extent. The corn
outlook at the present writing is very
bright.
Grain. Tho weather OF the past week,
while showing an absence of bright sun.
shine, was, on the whole, very favora bl4
for plant development. and. as result.
corn has made good progress. but is
stil slightly late. Buckwheat is flling
we'll and indications are for a good crop.
Sweet corn has proven an abundant
crop. and the quality is also good. This
has caused the canning factories through
out New England TO run to their fullest
capacity the past week. Considerable
field corn is being cut for fodder and
ensilage, and with good results.
Grass.-Whle the excessive PRECIPITATION
OF the past two weeks has reta rded gath-
ering of rowen. this crop has continued
to increase and fine yield of second
growth OF hay is assured. Some dam
age by wetting, as we'll as overtiowing.
was reported. Hungarian and millet ara
heading, and give every indication of
good yields.
Fruit.-Similar conditions to those of
last report obtain as regards prospects
OF fruit. Fall apples are being marketed.
but are somewhat worn,y. Winter varie-
ties are scarce. Grapes are turning and
promise a fine crop. Peaches. pears and
plums are plentiful. Cranberres. under
exceptionally favorable conditions, COM
tinue to improve and show every irdi-
cation Of an excellent crop.
Vegetables.-N change has occurred
in the vegetable situation since last
port. Potatoes are being dug. and al
though some rotting has been reported.
the crop will be good one. Onions
are being marketed and the yield ard
quality are good. All vine crops show
to good advantage and nromise good
returns. No damage from frosts received
this week.
Tobacco.-tnfavorahle weather cond!-
tions for tobacco. both in field and shed.
prevailed the past week. Cutting vaS
delayed In consequence. but the majority
Of the crop Is alrady cut and hung.
Some fear from pole sweat was express
ed. owing 10 excessive humidity. The to-
bacco yield this season WAS record one,
the growth being rank. and with prac.
tically no blemishes.
