ALAbAMA'S CROP
 CONDITION IS SET
 BACK BY REVERSES
Continuous Rains, Labor Shortage and Lack of Gull tivation Have Ham,
 pered Farmers

Montgomery. June 9.-(SpeciaL)-F. w. Gist. field agent, and F. o. Hooton, su- pervisor of markets for Alabama, issued the monthly report of the Alabama cooperative crop reporting service today. which reflects the effect of continuous rain, labor shortage and consequent lack of cultivation as influencing those crops which require attention at this season, as well as those which thrive best under copious moiSture conditions
 The condition of hay, referring chiefly to grasses, is reported at s3 per cent Of normal, the absence of cutting and cur ing having lowered the prospect, which would otherwise be excellent.
 Pastures, reported at 94 per cent, are well-nigh perfect though some complaint is heard of excessive moisture rendering the grass too succulent and not quite as nourishing as it should be for best re- suits. Cattle are, however, doing well on the grazing, as are also hogs.
 Field peas, consisting in this state all most entirely of the various types of cow peas grown, are reported at 70 per cent of normal. Not a very large portion .-S the intended acreage has been planted
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-06-10

and the late start the crop is getting has lowered the prospect of yield.
 Beans, velvet and soy, are somewhat in the same condition, though with fig ure of 76 they offer some better pros- pect than peas. A rather heavy crop IS expected in most sections if conditions improve a considerable acreage being contemplated.
 Orchard fruits are well up toward their average condition. Peaches are GA, apples 65 and pears 59 per cent of normal. These crops rarely ever reach very high prospect in this state. and present condl- tions are above the average.
 Cabbage and onions, the only two vege- tables reported on at this time, are in fair shape, cabbage being reported at SO and onions at S6 per cent of normal. In Mobile county, where cabbage are grown commercially they are % per cent of normal, indicating an excellent crop for market.
 Blackberries, a wild crop, are reported at 90 per cent of normal, although ripen- ing is delayed by lack of sunshine. The berries will he all the larger and finer for this delay.
 Melons of both kinds have been much delayed by unfavorable weather and watermelons are reported at 70 per cen, of normal, with canteloupes at 66. In the sections where watermelons are  grown for market the condition is some what better than the average Tor the state, and probably a good supply VIII be forthcoming at tn proper time.
 The condition of wheat is reported at "A per cent of normal. falling off from the month before, probably due to exces- sive rains. This condition on the acreage remaining to be harvested forecasts a crop of 794,000 bushels, quite reduction from last year.
 The acreage growing to oats IS esti- mated at 353000. or 95 per cent of last years acreage. The condition of the crop is reported at S5 per cent of normal which indicates a crop to be harvested of 7,413000 bushels, comparing with hnal production last season of 6,696,ooo bush els. Harvest of this crop is already un- der way in most of the state, and the yield is found to be satisfactory and the quality is very good.
