Crop Conditions

Reports from the counties in the State
| so far received indicate there has been a
normal average yield of wheat, rye, and
grass for hay. The oats crop is the best
for a period of twenty years. ALI crops
are now harvested in the best of condition
| except some oats in the northern section.
| In potato growing sections the early vari-
| cites have yielded a full crop; medium
| early are injured by lack OF rain fully one
| fourth; some complain of black rot or
| stem rot and second growth; prices very
low. II drought continues late potatoes
win not yield a half crop.
While corr in general has been doing
well up to the present, the prospect OF a
full crop is now seriously threatened by
| severe drought accompanied by high
winds. Generally the corn is Unfolding
its leaves during the day for lack of
moisture. All truck crops are injured
where drought prevails. Pasture grasses
and grass on mown lands fail to grow,
consequently there is a shortage of succu-
lent food for dairy COWS and other farm
stock.
To make up for this loss milk producers
are compelled to feed expensive purchased
feeds, which add greatly to the cost of
production,
Peaches where orchards have been
we'll cared for have enough fruit set for a
full crop, providing rain comes soon to
perfect the fruit, otherwise much of it
must gosto market in a partially deyel-
oped condition.
Early apples are yielding we'll; late va
risties not heavy. Pears normal. Early
small fruits have yielded well.
A dealer in a little farming community
paid 1924 per ton for rye straw last spring;
they are now offering SIS per ton, a price
that will scarcely pay for carting.
