crop conditions show continued Inn

close OF July with yields quite often
disappointing. Spotted damage to rye
kernels by grasshoppers is noticeable
in southwestern counties.
Corn condition is slightly below av-
.erage for the state being average or
better In southern third Of the state,
but becoming poorer and below aver
age from this line north. State growth
is rather backward. July weather too
dry and cool for favorable corn de-
.velopment.
Flax About Average.
Flax condition is about average for
the state. Very favorable in eastern
half Of the state, but tapers off to both
good and poor in western counties.
Recent rains caused marked daily i'm

Potatoes Very Good.'
Potatoes show best condition of any
crop in the state. There are very few
[counties that do not show a condition
above average. Crop Is setting favor
ably since recent fine rains and bug
damage is moderate. Potato outlook
very favorable. N
Hay Conditions Fair.
Acreao ga NJ both wild and tame hav
is somewhat reduced from last sea-
due chiefly to heavy winter killing Of
alfalfa, clover and timothy. Wild hay
reduction in acreage is due to the fact
that much upland hay is not worth
cutting owing to drouth. Hay condi-
ktion Is below average but showing
}rapid improvement since rains, and
it is probable that considerable late
haying will be DONE. Late sown millet
of which there is a large acreage is
showing excellent improvement and
will provide much moro tame hay
than earlier indications. Pasture con-
