TOMATO CROP Is SHORT.

A conspicuous falling off in the
State tomato crop has occurred be-
cause of the long drought just ended,
and according to the packers there
will be shortage of between 20 and
80 per cent in the normal production
for the season.
1t was stated, however, that there
would be no reflection in the price OF
canned goods to the consumer, assany
increase in price would be absorbed
normally in the wholesale price. The
shortage, nevertheless, will be severe
ly felt by the packers, and really has
a national significance. For Mary
land is the foremost tomato State OF
the country, and the leading tomato
section of the world.
Last years output for the whole
country totaled something over H.
100000 cases, Maryland supplied
more than 100000 cases, or 3G per
cent. A shortage of 1 ,5O0O,OOO or
1000, 900 cases is anticipated.
1t was said that there was not a
cargo of tomatoes to be had in Balti.
more on Monday or Tuesday, stu
alton declared to be unique in the
city's packing history.

BOURBON COUNTY CROPS
HELPED Ely SHOWERS

The past week was a very strenu
Gus one in this county, nearly all 9th
er agricultural interests being subor
d1nate to the grass seed industry. By
daylight last Monday morning the bus
mess OF harvesting the crop of blue
grass seed was commenced. The in
tense heat was very trying on both
men and teams.
About rs per cent. of the crop has
been stripped and is now being cured
in the open fields
The seed is said to be the best in
quality for years, and the yield is
above the average. The price is low,
only rs and 80 cents being paid for
seed from the stripper, while that for
August delivery is worth about so
cents.
In some sections of the county
wheat cutting has begun, and the in
dications are that the crop will be a
good one, better than for several
years.
The growing crop suffered some
what from the May drouth, but the
matured wheat shows splendid
quality.
Corn in Bourbon is needing more
rain, as the Importance of rainfall to
corn crop cannot be overestimated.
