CRANBERRY CROP IS
FAR below NORMAL
Corn, Beans and Peaches How.
ever, Do Well in This Section

Wakefield, Mass, Sept. IL. Bad
weather has reduced prospects for the
cranberry crop in Massachusetts, to
lower than tho average for the past 20
years. V. A. Sanders, federal crop sta
tistician for the New England district
reported today.
Improved weather in Aroostook
county, Maine, helped potatoes there
and prospects now are for a crop of
about 100000 bushels, against 49,
10000 bushels last year Mr.. Sanders
said. The entire Maine potato crop
changed from a prospective 21,S35,O0O
bushels August 1 to z4,639,000 bushels
September 1, due entirely to gains in
Aroostook. Size and quality are good.
Corn has grown remarkably well in
New England Notwithstanding the
drought and is much above the aver
age generally. Oats are about II
points below average, being poorest in
Maine and Connecticut and best in
Rhode Island. The other grain crops
are short generally. Spring wheat,
which attained considerable import
ance during the war has mainly dis
appeared except in Aroostook county
Maine and Addison county, Vermont.
Field beans are a good crop gen
orally as are most garden crops ex-
ceDI onions, winch nave not grown
we'll. Connecticut valley onions are
around So per cent. to 60 per cent. of
a full crop, growth having been stop
ped by disease and insects.
Peaches have turned out rs per
cent. to so per cent. of full crops in
Massachusetts and Connecticut and the
quality is good while in New Hamp-
shire and Rhode Island the crop is
much lighter due 20 spring damage.
