perhaps has suffered more than any
other. All early corn is almost a COM
plete failure and the dry weather pre-
vented the planting of the late crop.

have been unusually scarce during the
entire spring and summer. Very few
| beans, green peas and butter beans
| have appeared on the market and to-
matoes have been equally as scarce.
