but slightly larger than in 1918; iiiusk- 

 nielon is ton per cent larger than last 

 year, but less than for either of the 

 three years jireceding; pumpkin is in- 

 creased 100 ])cr cent, while the produc- 

 tion of .suiinncr and winter Sfjuash is 

 about equal to the 4-year average. 

 The ])ro(luctiou of sweet corn is about 

 equal to last year's record production of 

 over 13,000,000 pounds. 



Belated thrashing and cleaning of 

 beans, peas and some of the vine crops 

 made it iieces.sary for some growers to 

 estiinati' their ])roduction of those crops. 

 In a few cases where reports were not 

 received for a relatively small acreage 

 the production on that acreage was esti- 

 mated on the basis of crop condition re- 

 ports previously received on that acre- 

 age and from the yields reported ob- 

 tained by other growers in the same dis- 

 trict. 



THE CAUSE OF WATER SPROUT. 



Mistaken for True Sprout. 



In the examination of s])routiiig seeds, 

 either upon or ))etween blotting ])apcr. 

 one fre(|ueiitly iiiids drops of liquid of 

 varying size, usually about the size of a 

 large i)iii-head, located in the region of 

 the seed scar. These drops of li(piid 

 show varying degrees of cloudiness, 

 some being quite milky or ojinque in ap- 

 j)earance. Tiie naiiio ''water sprout" 

 has been apj)Hed to this appendage, or, 

 more ])roperly, condition of the seed. 

 Undoubtedly, this water sjirout is some- 

 times mistaken for and counted as a 

 true sprout, the result of normal growth, 

 which it closely rcsi>nibles in some ]>ar- 

 ticulars. This is more a]>t to ho tlie 

 case if tlie test is read <-losely and some- 

 what early in its duration. 



Early in the sc;ison of 191!) the writer 

 began a systematic examination of blot- 

 ter tests of seeds for water sprouts. 

 They were found on a large variety of 

 seeds and were more ]ircvalent and con- 

 spicuous on seeds of the l(>gunies. in the 

 case of red clover the water sjiroiit in its 

 beginning frequently ajipears as a
