Names Sweet Corn
Present Condition Of Crop

A greater acreage of sweet corn
in Maine than there was last year,
a poor season and a prospect that II
we have a late fall IS per cent of 1T
may be harvested, is the account
which comes from the New England
Crop Reporting Service.
There are 1885 acres of sweet
corn for canning in Maine this year
compared with 1895 acres last sea-
son, q gain OF polio. Ninety fac
tories are operated in order to pack
this important crop. The total per
factory varies from to $50 acres,
with an average of 1872 acres. New
Hampshire's acreage of sweet corn
for canning increased from. SS1 acres
in 1922 to 1243 acres in 1923, gain
of 41Go. Vermont on the other
hand, declined from 25S9 acres in
1922 to 2423 acres in 1923, a decrease
of 90. In Maine this crop stands
high in total value among the cash
crops of the state.
1.-THE season has been unfavorable
to this crop in most localities. All
parts of><ew England have been too
cool this season for corn to make a
good growth. In New Hampshire
and Vermont, the crop has suffered
from drought, as well as cool wealth
er. Under favorable conditions in
GLIDING a late fall, 1870 of crop
may be expected in most localities.
The final result, however, depends,
largely on temperatures. rainfall and
the continued absence of frost.
Prospects for a good crop are better
in the areas about Fryeburg and
Pennington, Maine, than elsewhere
in New England"
