to it than almost any crop. It is now practically all secured, 

 without damage from frosts, and the stover is generally 

 bright and promises to he of good nutritive value. 



Rowen and Fall Feed. 



The severe drought of the first part of the month, taken 

 in conjunction with the condition of drought then generally 

 prevailing, has reduced the rowen crop to far below the 

 normal in all sections, and in many it is practically a failure. 

 The rains of the second and third weeks of the month, though 

 coming too late to save the rowen crop, did much to improve 

 fall feed, but it is still far below a normal condition. Much 

 rain is needed to put grass roots in mowings and pastures in 

 even fair condition. 



Fall Seeding. 

 Much less than the usual amount of fall seeding has been 

 done, owing to the previous drought, and much of that put 

 in is only just coming up. It is therefore difficult to form 

 an estimate as to the condition, but the returns would seem 

 to indicate that, on the whole, it is somewhat below the 

 normal. 



Onions. 



Onions are quite generally less than an average crop. 

 They are generally reported as small, owing to the drought, 

 and in many sections their unusual numbers will not make 

 up for this condition. Blight is not reported and they seem 

 to be generally curing well. 



Potatoes. 

 The drought cut the potato crop short in all sections, and 

 for the State as a whole there is probably not over a two- 

 thirds crop. The tubers are quite generally reported as 

 being small. There are but few complaints of rot and the 

 quality appears to be excellent in most cases. 



Root Cnors, Celery, etc. 

 The prospect for root crops is not flattering, though the 

 recent rains have improved them, and with frequent rains in 

 the future they may do better than is expected. Celery ap-
