VEATHER AND CROPS. 



According to a Bradstreet report issued 

 August 30, the continuance of dry, hot 

 weather in the southwest has led to a re- 

 vision of earlier estimates of a bumper 

 corn crop, and it is now conceded by 

 many that the increased area planted has 

 been offset by drought. Fall plowing is 

 also retarded by the dry weather. Re- 

 ports of damage to corn come from 

 Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, 

 Iowa and Missouri. In fact, the states 

 west of the Mississippi promise little 

 more than a year ago, and the best re- 

 ports come from the states of Illinois, 

 Indiana and Ohio. Losses from early 

 promise of ten to fifty per cent west of 

 the Mississippi are indicated, but the in- 

 creased area planted will probably result 

 in a total yield larger than last year, 

 though a bumper yield is out of the ques- 

 tion. Oklahoma estimates are for a yield 

 of only 90,000,000 bushels, as against 

 130,000,000 bushels last year, whereas a 

 yield of 200,000,000 bushels had been 

 looked for. The South Platte section of 

 Nebraska reports damage of twenty-five 

 per cent, and Texas reports a fifty per 

 cent crop likely. Corn in the northwest 

 promises well, but the crop in the east, 

 while better than earlier, is not equal to 

 last year. The sweet corn pack in In- 

 diana and in Maryland and Delaware is 

 a short one. The potato crop in Aroos- 

 took county. Me., is promising. The to- 

 mato pack in eastern Maryland and Dela- 

 ware is short of last year. A large" west- 

 ern tobacco crop of good quality is pre- 

 dicted. Fruit yields in the Pacific north- 

 west are smaller than last year. 



Spring wheat harvesting has ended in 

 the northwest. The yield for the three 

 states is placed at 220,000,000 bushels, 

 against 175,000,000 bushels a year ago. 

 Oats harvesting is well along in the west 

 and promises a close to record yield. 



Lower temperatures and local rains 

 have helped cotton in Texas, but the feel- 

 ing is that the crop in that state has been 

 badly hurt. Little improvement is shown 

 in the lower Mississippi valley. Reports 

 from the eastern half of the belt are 

 quite favorable. 



STREAK IN SWEET PEAS. 



Referring to the so-called streak dis- 

 ease in sweet peas, that is giving so much 

 trouble in Great Britain this year, H. G. 

 Collyer, a well known English gardener, 

 says : * * My first acquaintance with 

 streak was in 1905, when it appeared in 

 the variety Black Knight, and spread 

 through the whole row of some ten varie- 

 ties in about a fortnight. The other rows 

 in the same garden did not show the dis- 

 ease ; the soil there was a light loam, with
