Oats ant> Barley. 

 Oats are reported as short, but heading out fairly well, 

 perhaps a three-fourths crop, taking the State as a whole. 

 Barley is little raised except for late forage, and does not 

 seem to be in particularly good condition for that purpose, 

 but may come forward better in the future. 



Late Market-garden Crops. 

 Celery is rather backward, owing to the severe drought, 

 which interfered with setting, and in some cases materially 

 reduced both the number of acres set out and the number of 

 plants that bore transplanting. With warm weather and 

 seasonal rains, the crop should overcome this handicap to 

 a considerable extent. Other late market-garden crops, 

 notably cabbages and root crops, are also rather backward, 

 but since the rains are improving and quite generally promise 

 well.
