CROPS IN STATE
GAIN OVER 1893
Grain Production 29 Percent
Larger While Fruit Crops
Give Poorer Results
GRAPE CROP 3OreLARGER

Production prospects for most
Delaware crops improved during
September according to ]. A. Ew-
ing, Federal agricultural statis-
tician for Delaware. While the
heavy September rainfall aided
late crops and pastures, it was I'M
favorable for hay harvesting and
wheat sowing. The combined in
dicated yield per acre of all i'm
portant Delaware crops on October
was about per cent above aver
age. Present indications are that
feed grain production this year
will be % per cent larger than a
year ago and "a per cent higher
than average. The corn crop is
almost a fourth larger than aver
age. Tame hay production is ex-
pected to be z per cent greater
than last years large crop. Sweet
potato prospects declined during
the month and Indications now are
for a crop IA per cent short OF last
year and 13 per cent below aver
age. All fruit crops, except grap-
es, are poor this year. Apples are
less than half of the average crop.
Considerable codling moth and
oriental peach month damage is
reported. Grape production is
about 80 per cent above average.
