applies to collard seed, which crop is 

 much larger than usual and of better 

 quality. 



* ' The okra seed crop was severely 

 injured about October 5 by a severe 

 frost, which was of unprecedented oc- 

 currence with us at this time of the 

 year. The plants contained a heavy 

 crop of seed but all the later pods that 

 were frostbitten will be worthless for 

 seed. So we anticipate that this crop 

 will be at least twenty-five per cent short 

 of a normal yield. 



"The egg-plant crop was damaged 

 somewhat by the same frost, but far- 

 ther south, where most of it is grown, 

 the bulk of the crop already had been 

 harvested, and the output seems to be a 

 normal one. 



"The crop of Pearl millet was un- 

 usually heavy but continued rains during 

 harvest time sprouted a good deal of the 

 seed, so after it is cleaned up the crop 

 will only be about a normal one. 



"The cow pea crop is large, notwith- 

 standing the great scarcity of seed to 

 plant last spring. But the continued 

 rains have seriously damaged this crop, 

 and on the weather for the next thirty 

 days much depends as to what the final 

 result will be. We are anticipating a 

 fair crop, with high prices, owing to 

 increased demand every year. 



' ' The watermelon seed crop is short 

 about twenty-five per cent of the normal 

 yield. There was a large acreage 

 planted but continued wet weather dur- 

 ing cleaning time destroyed a great 

 many of the seeds."
