CORN CROP rs STUNTED.
Lack of Rain Causes Serious situation
In Center of state.

Montpelier. July 1s.--According to farm
ers who have been in town the past
few days the crop situation is approach
ing a serious stage. 1t has been several
weeks since there has been any general
rain of enough quantity to do any good
except in small areas. People who have
been about the country in autos report
that corn averages less than three feet
high and is generally about two feet
high. which is about two or three feet
under the average height for the season.
Most of the haying has been completed
and some fields were beginning to go to
seed before they could be reached. so fast
has the crop ripened during the hot. dry
weather Potatoes are generally doing
fairly we'll although the year has been
favorable for bugs. Tree fruits are gen.
orally doing we'll. Feed Is getting rather
short in many pastures and a continual
ton of the dry weather is likely to re-
suit in curtailment of the milk produce
ton. Farmers who completed their hay
ing early have been able to get a good
second crop.
