later, but aside from tomatoes, cucumbers,
melons and first hay crops. the damage
will not be material. In fact, the condi-
tons for heavy fruit crop are said 10 be
favorable at this time. The continued wet
weather has had similar effect upon the
melons, cucumbers- and tomatoes. That
is, IL has caused the seeds and plants 70
rot in the ground. This is also true 10
some extent of the sugar beets. but re-
ports from the beet districts received to-
day are TO the effect that the plants are
yet too small 10 be damaged much. The
greatest trouble has been the keeping OF
the ground so wet that the farmers have
not been able 10 thin out the plants. This
viii result in throwing the crop back
little 1t is expected, however that as
soon as warm sunshine comes the plants
will develop rapidly and that the crop will
be a large one.
About the only fruit that will suffer to
any extent is the cherries This rain,
coupled with the cold weather that has
prevailed since the storms set in, will
make the cherries short little. The cold
weather prevents the sap from flowing
into the fruit. and the result will be
that some of the cherries Will drop from
the trees before the fruit has matured-
The storms have left the hay down
badly in most OF the country districts. and
in some places il has commenced to rust.
About the only thing left for the farm
ers is 10 get the first crop off as quickly
as possible and make the second crop.
If this is done il is predicted that the
crop will be almost as large as II the
early conditions had been more favor
able.
While II is too early to tell definitely
what the effect will be on the tomato
crop, il is thought that the wet spell
VIII cause the plants to rot in the ground.
This means that the tomato pack this
year Will be considerably less than il has
been during the past two years Straw
berries will be somewhat later this year
than previously and many of the early
berries will rot on the stalks. II is
thought however, that this will not at
feet the crop 10 any great degree. Fruit
growers predict heavy crop of the early
fruits. such as peaches, apricots and
grapes.
