WEATHER-CROP REPORT

The United States Department of
Agriculture's weather bureau report
covering crop conditions in New Jer-
sey for the week ending Tuesday,
June 10, follows:
There have been a few showers
over different portions of the state,
and the days have been bright with
sunshine and a little excessive heat,
but the nights have been cool.
Drought conditions have gained
slightly in severity, although the abb
sence of scorching heat has mitigat-
ed the i'll effects somewhat. Many
crops are in critical condition, such
that If rain Goes not soon occur in
thorough soaking quantity, some
farms will be an almost total failure.
The drought is also causing some
premature ripening. Corn is making
the best progress and apparently is
not yet suffering. Oats, rye, and po-
tatoes are doing well, but are now
beginning to show the need of rain.
Wheat, hay, and pastures are poor
and some wheat has been cut green
for feed. Alfalfa is mostly cut and
cured under excellent conditions
but the prospects for the second
crop are not so encouraging. Truck
on the whole, is not very good. To-
matoes, peppers, and sweet potatoes
are not very satisfactory, and fur
| Their drought will have a serious eff
feet on them. Peaches and apples
seem to be progressing well, while
Eother fruits are not qyite so good,

This radical dictum, coming from

predominated for SO long a time.
The general trend in new fashions
has been towards the severe The

way to the more classic, dignified
lines. The high waist-llne has
dropped to the hips, or been obliter-
ated altogether; the short skirt has
been replaced by the ankle length
gown; bobbed hair has become sud-
denly passe.
But Miss Swanson now carries the
reaction one step further and takes
