CROP CONDITIONS GOOD.
Corn Coming Along Well-Hay Yield
Above Average-Good Set Of Apples
-Blueberries Plentiful.

Crop conditions about Windham county
are favorable on the whole, according to
County Agent w. p. Frost, who has just
visited several of the towns, despite the
fact that the spring was very backward.
While the rain of the summer months has
been needed the precipitation has been
such that there have been long dry spells
which often are experienced at this sea-
son of the year.
The corn crop still is very backward
although it made a marked gain the past
10 days, and the more experienced farm
ers seem confident that there will be at
least a fair crop.
1t is estimated that the hay crop will
be above normal. Many of the farmers
have not finished haying. The past week
was good haying weather and large
quantity was put into the barns. Farmers
who cut their fields early secured heavy
cut, but those who have deferred their
work have been we'll repaid for their de-
lay. Indications point to light second
crop, due to the late cutting, but immed-
late rains would mean that the newly
seeded pieces would show a fair second
cutting of clover.
There seems to have been good set OF
apples and those who sprayed will have
good supply for market, while thocs
who did not spray will pick compare
lively few Not as much spraying was
/ done this spring az in 1919 this being due
partly to the lateness of the season.
Quantities of blucberries' seems to ap
ply to every section of the county where
such berries usually grow. While there
| probably will not be as many blackber
rios as last year the bushes are vel
filed with green berries and there should
he a good supply if ripening conditions
are right
