rieties will be total failures, while others 

 will range from fifty to seventy-five per 

 cent. 



"The field corn crops also vary, and 

 we expect to be short in filling some va- 

 rieties of flint corn, but hope to make 

 fair deliveries of nearly all varieties. 

 ^The same conditions will apply to White 

 and Yellow Dent varieties of field corn. 



"The vine seeds, especially cucumber, 

 muskmelon and watermelon, have been 

 seriously damaged throughout the entire 

 west by the excessive moisture following 

 the very hot weather during the latter 

 part of July and early part of August ; 

 the ground being saturated with water 

 becoming overheated, so as to cause 

 steam or vapor to rise under the vines, 

 causing blight and the rapid increase of 

 the melon aphis. Many crops have been 

 entirely destroyed on the above account, 

 while all of the crops have been more or 

 less damaged. It is therefore impossible 

 to tell just what the crops will yield on 

 account of the spotted condition of the 

 fields. A few varieties will be total fail- 

 ures, and others will range from twenty- 

 five to fifty per cent of an average yield, 

 and in a few cases possibly sixty to sev- 

 enty-five per cent. 



"The pumpkin and squash are some- 

 what better, but we have lost a few crops 

 of some varieties by floods and damage 

 by the striped beetle when too late to 

 replant." 



ONION SETS. 



Beferring to onion sets at Chillicothe, 

 p., Siehilder Bros, writ* as follows, un- 

 der date of September 12: 



"The set crop here is short of last 

 season — perhaps ten per cent short — but 

 quality very good; they are keeping 

 nicely. The acreage was a little larger. 

 The actual yield was about fifteen per 

 cent smaller, but owing to the increased 

 acreage we should say the diflference in 

 bushels from last year is about ten per 

 cent. Demand is heavy and prices ad- 

 vancing. We are paying the growers 

 here in our neighborhood about 25 cents 

 more per bushel than we paid this, time 

 last season." 



Schilder Bros, are said also to have an 

 interest in. some 10,000 bushels of sets 

 grown this season in the territory south 

 of Chicago.
