Indian Corn. 

 The good weather of the month and the absence of frosts 

 have combined to improve the corn crop materially, but it 

 is still far short of an average crop in most sections. In the 

 south-eastern portion of the State, however, the season 

 seems to have been more favorable, and there a full average 

 crop is generally reported. There is considerable complaint 

 that corn has not eared well and also that the ears have not 

 filled out well. Stover, where not drowned out by the 

 excessive rains of the early part of the season, has done 

 somewhat better and seems fairly luxuriant. Sweet corn 

 has sufiered for the same reasons and in the same manner 

 as field corn and is also below the average. 



Rowen and Fall Feed. 



Rovven was an unusually good crop, many correspondents 

 speaking of it as the best ever known, and was secured in 

 good condition. The conditions that worked against many 

 other crops were particularly favorable to rowen, and also 

 left grass roots in good condition, so that mowing lands are 

 now in prime shape for next year's crop. Fall feed is also 

 above the average in condition and promises to hold out 

 well. 



Fall Seeding. 



According to the returns less than the usual amount of 

 fall seeding has been done in manv localities, although all 

 agree that that which has been put in is looking unusually 

 well. The ground was much too wet in many sections and 

 in others it is now spoken of as too dry. These two very 

 diverse reasons have probably had about an equal influence 

 in keeping the amount of fall seeding done below the usual 

 average. 



Onions. 



Onions are considerably less than an average crop, taking 

 the State as a whole, and proi)ably in the regions of com- 

 mercial production they will not greatly exceed half a crop. 

 Rot is reported in some sections and there is also some com- 

 plaint of big necks. Prices are not yet fully established, but 

 appear to be considerably better so far than for several years 

 past.
