RowEx AXD Fall Feed. 

 For the State as a whole more than an average crop of 

 rowen was secured, but there are some complaints from south- 

 eastern sections of a light crop, owing to prolonged drought 

 during the season of growth. That rowen which was cut 

 early was secured in good condition, l>ut there is consider- 

 able complaint of damage to that later cut by reason of rains 

 at time of making. Fall feed is in excellent condition in 

 most sections, though where rowen suliered from drought 

 fall feed is also short. The ground was well filled with 

 water at time of making returns, and with seasonable rains 

 during October pastures and mowings should go into the 

 winter in good condition. 



Fall Seedixg. 

 Less than the usual amount of fall seeding had been done 

 at time of making returns, and much of that put in had not 

 germinated, owing to dry weather at the time usually de- 

 voted to this work. Where the work had been done a good 

 catch was generally reported and good growth so far as it 

 had advanced. The heavy rains of the third week of the 

 month must result in good germination of that previously 

 sown, and have put the soil in excellent condition for such 

 seeding as remains to be done. 



Onioxs. 



Onions are considerably under a normal crop for the State 

 as a whole, though perhaps better than was anticipated earlier 

 in the season. Maggot work and blight have been con- 

 tributing causes to the shortage of the crop. The crop is 

 drying down well and harvesting was well under way in the 

 regions of commercial production at the time of making 

 returns, some growers having marketed their entire crop. 

 Prices received ranged from 50 to 65 cents, with perhaps 

 an upward tendency. 



Potatoes. 



Potatoes would have been an unusuall}'^ heavy crop but 

 for rot, which will operate, however, to reduce the total
