OUTLOOK PROMISING
FOR \. ]. CROPS.
TRUCK FARMERS LUCKY.

Franklin Dye, secretary Of the state board
of agriculture, does not see any great calam-
ity for the New Jersey farmer this season,
but on the other hand, believes that, from
the present. conditions, Jersey farmers will
reap good crops and their condition be inn
proved over even that Of last year. While
he speaks Of crops on the whole, Mr.. Dye
has found conditions good in nearly every
field Of farming this year.
Speaking of the hay crop, about which
there was so much concern short time
ago, Mr.. Dye says: THE grass crop has
been housed and it will not be more than
rs per cent. Of its normal hay crop, owing
to the dry weather early in the season.
There has been little trouble in gathering
it, despite the heavy rain lately
AS to other crops, Mr. Dye said: THE
wheat and rye crops are all in,and are good
ones. I cannot say just yet what the yield
will be, but New Jersey can be put down
as producing good wheat and rye crops in
1906.
sThe cranberry crop has been injured
somewhat by late frosts, and in some sec
tions the great amount Of hail during the
summer season has injured the promised big
yield But with the added damage by
worms fungus, etc., which is always to be
considered in making crop estimate, the
present prospects are fairly satisfactory.
siRaspberries are plentiful, backberries
very abundant, and grapes really promising
at this season of the year. OF course, black
rot may assail the grapes later, but New
Jersey grapes have generally been free from
that rot.
''Of peaches and pears there will be a
moderate crop, where they are cared for, as
they should he, but apples will not yield
more than rs per cent. Of full crop. All
depends on the information of the farmer
in handling his crop when it is growing
and ripening.
ssMelons promise well at this date, but
may have their enemies to contend with
