208 Ninth Annual Report of the 



High VIII, 30.1 inches, passing along the Canadian border, 

 reached the lakes and New York on the Slst bringing fair weather. 



Notes from the Crop Bulletin : Bright drying weather dnring 

 the first week was favorable both for harvesting and for the growth 

 of crops, after the excessive rains of July. Wheat, rye and barley 

 were generally secured in fair condition excepting in the north. 

 Corn, late potatoes, vegetables and tree fruits (excepting apples) 

 developed finely, and buckwheat came into bloom. Two weeks of 

 showery weather followed, with deficient temperatures after the 

 16th, and these conditions were rather unfavorable for growth and 

 harvesting, although many localities in the central and wiestem 

 counties escaped the showers and reported a drouth. A fine 

 second crop of clover was gathered during this time. The 

 remainder of the month was cool ; but with less rainy and cloudy 

 weather, late harvesting made a fair progress in the north. The 

 oats harvest was well under wa}^ by the third week, and some 

 fodder corn was cut before the close of the month ; but generally 

 the season was reported as from one to three weeks later than 

 usual. Buckwheat continued in good condition, and other grains 

 yielded well in threshing. The apple crop was generally poor, but 

 other tree fruits were exceptionally abundant. Tobacco -cutting 

 was under way at the end of August, giving an exceptionally 

 good yield. Early potatoes blighted badly, and the outlook for the 

 entire crop was unfavorable.
