Dr. J. K. Shaw makes the following comment on the progress 

 of vegetation: "The first part of the month of June was character- 

 ized by excessive rainfall and much cloudy, humid weather. 

 This, together with the heavy carry-over of scabby leaves, re- 

 sulted in one of the worst apple scab years for a long time; there 

 will be a lot of scabby Mcintosh this fall. The set of apples was 

 fair and a crop nearly or quite up to average is indicated at 

 present. In some orchards on frosty locations the crop of apples 

 will be light or none. The crop will not come up to the promise 

 made by the remarkably heavy bloom. Peaches generally es- 

 caped blossom killing and there should be a good crop. Weather 

 for strawberries was favorable, plenty of rain during the growing 

 period and drier weather during harvest. Available supplies are 

 restricted by the reduced area devoted to this crop. The month 

 closes with a hot period with little rainfall. Conditions have 

 favored a good hay crop and harvesting conditions have been 

 good so far."
