Franklin county farmers are very
| busy haying, with help scarce and
very difficult to obtain, except green
| help-and not enough of even this.
| The hay crop will be very light, not
| over so per cent of normal, according
to the estimate OF a prominent farmer
| today The same condition prevails
| all over the State, according to a
| Pennington man who has just return
I ed from an automobile trip during
which he pretty nearly circled the en-
tire State. Sweet corn, which IS the
most important crop commercially in
i this part of Maine, is very backward
| and 1t will take lot of good hot
weather to produce anything like q
| normal crop at maturity--and a late
| season will be necessary for it to reach
| maturity at all. Potatoes and beans
| are showing up well and good crops of
| these essentials are assured. With very
rare exceptions. nobody had green ma
| tive peas July 4. which is and has been
| for years considered the proper time
| to expect and get the first good mess.
| Peas are just coming in now and there
| are as yet very few in the market.
| Garden vegetables are all week or
| two behind the average seasan and in
| many cases second paintings were nee
| essary to get anything like crop.
