Said Sec MacVeagh, THE country is
simply pausing to take breath after Its
headlong flights of 1906 and 1909. A set
back was inevitable and will be of i'm
mense good.
sfhe fine prospects of a bumper cotton
crop are beclouded by the gloom induced
by the approximate Is per cent. short
age in the cereal crops. which will still
be above the average. The fact that the
country is enormously prosperous agri-
culturally and is likely to remain so
seems to have been entirely overlooked.

Half a Million Dollars or More
Loss Is Estimated.

Boston. Sept. l4.-Damage Of more
than half a million dollars was done to
New England crops by a heavy frost
during the early hours today. with the
weather forecaster predicting eontin-
ueg low temperature for tonight.
Farmers in this section of the country
are discouraged ny the weather con-
ditians Of 1911. First there is a di
sastrous spring drought. followed by
prolonged rains, too late TO benefit
their products. and now unexpected
frosts have added to the misfortunes
of the New England agriculturalists.
The tobacco crop along the Connec-
ticut valley received a severe blow
from the frost, growers announcing
that the loss on this produce alone
will be approximately 100000. Hun
dreds of acres of tobacco in Connect
cut and Massachusetts were ruined.
Generally tobacco is out and in the
process of drying by this time of year.
but heavy rains during the past two
weeks resulted in the vast fields re-
naming standing.
Cranberry bogs along Cape Cod re-
ceived the full force of the biting cold,
and in many cases the ripe berries
We're destroyed. causing damage
which producers were unable to esti-
mate. This years crop. however, had
been largely harvested.
Garden truck of all kinds We're
severely damaged Fields of sweet
corn gave the appearance of being
dried today, and the yield has been
damaged, if not destroyed. Tomatoes
and other kinds of late vegetables SUI
fered a check which they cannot over
come.

New England lowered around the
freezing point throughout the night

Rooster Arrives In Town on a Lo-

Notwithstanding the heavy frost OF
Wednesday night, the corn crop Sc
cured by the canning factory was but
little damaged and the officials OF the
Packing Co think that the pack will
come nearly up TO their expectations,
because nearly two-ti1irds of the pack
has oeen taken care of. The corn
brought in Thursday morning by the
farmers was III the best OF condition,
but for the most part was cut the
night before, and was not fair sam
pie of what Wednesday nights frost
might have done. a great many of
the farmers have their acreage har-
vested and are eongratulating them
selves, for they expect the frost to
continue. The company expects to get
"a pack of 100000 cans this year, and
have already put up 100000 cans. The
Officials are confident that they will
be able to get the remaining 10000
without much difficulty.

Of any attempt to keep official records
