DRY SPELL HURTS
CROPS IN VIRGINIA
Outlook for Corn Declared
! Poorest in Yeafs-Ap-

BY the Associated Press
RICHMOND. Va. September g.
Virginia crops made little improve
ment during the last part of August
S there was need for genera, rain for
all late crops. according to the semi
monthly crop notes of the Virginia
Crop Reporting Service. issued here
by Henry VI. Taylor, Federal statis-
tician.
THE outlook for corn is the poor
est for many years" the report con-
tnues Early crops have already
been injured by the dry weather and
the growth of late crops has been re-
tarded. there is great danger that
many fields will not mature. In the
southwest the corn crop is much bet
ter than in other parts of the state,
and that section will make an aver
age yield.
Hay Is Retarded.
Late hay crops have made little
progress owing to the dry weather.
The third cutting of alfalfa has been
lighter than usual. The greater part
of the hay crop was harvested IN
July and made unusually heavy
Yields Pastures are becoming short
and need rain.
THE tobacco crop is maturing, and
approximately % per cent has been
harvested In the bright district
the leaf is light and the yield is not
expected to be as large as usual. The
quality of the dark tobacco is very
good.
Tine largest early potato crop in
the history of the State has been har-
vested. and shipments have been
practically completed. The condition
Of the late crop is fair. Sweet pota-
toes are yielding very poorly on the

been light. Recent rains VIII I'M
prove the condition of late crops.
Apples Are Hit.
The commercial peach crop was
much later than usual in rIpenlng,
and the size of the fruit was not as
large as usual; but the crop is sener-
ally turning out about as expected
Prices have been satisfactory. The
prospects for the apple crop are not
50 encouraging as a month ago, as
the drought in the valley section has
retarded growth and the heavy IN
festation of scab and cedar rust viii
reduce the number of barrels packed
A larger percentage of the crop than
usual will be shipped in bulk TO mar
let's and cider plants. In the Pied
mont section apples are developing
the normal size. Growers in the Rap
pahannock district are harvesting
Yorks for exports. Returns from
some of the first shipments were quite
satisfactory to the grower.
The peanut crop was improved by
the rains of the 25th, but the pros
poets for this crop are still exceed
ingly poor. The vine growth is very
small and some of the fields are quite
grassy With favorable season.
the late planted crops may make a
fair yield. The condition of the Span
ish variety is reported to be better
than the Virginias.
