sections of commercial production, and this injury seems to 

 be universal except in southeastern sections. The berries are 

 reported as being rather smaller than usual. 



Injury from Frosts. 

 Light frosts occurred in many sections on the mornings of 

 August 30 and September 20, with some reports of injury on 

 the 7th and 8th of September. There does not seem to have 

 been much injury to the principal farm crops in any section, 

 and high lands seem to have escaped damage altogether up 

 to the time of making returns. This absence of frost damage 

 has made possible the maturing of crops, many of which 

 would have been partial failures had there been the usual 

 damage from this cause during the early part of the month.
