Apples will be a medium crop, being thin 
on trees that bore last year. Pears very 
light, hardly 25 per cent, with more leaf 
blight on Kleffer and Le Conte trees than 
I ever saw before. Peaches have dropped 
badly, hardly 50 per cent of a crop, with 
indications of rot on early varieties. Plums 
none; cherries none; plant lice very bad 
on the sweet varieties. Corn very back¬ 
ward and uneven, needing sun and warmer 
weather, as do all other crops. Hay hard¬ 
ly 50 per cent; rye short and thin; oats 
rusting badly in some fields; potatoes 
good, poor stand of cucumber pickles. 
Monmouth Co.. N. J. d. b. 
I have seen no plant lice on any fruit 
trees yet. Strawberries were a short crop 
because of drought and early frost. Other 
berries will be a full crop, except that fruit 
will be smaller than usual, because of dry 
weather reducing quantity. Apples appear 
to be a short crop, as on off years, but all 
tree fruit will be of fine quality, no scab, 
and insects appear to have done less dam¬ 
age than usual. Farm crops will vary 
greatly, hay one-third, oats nearly full, 
potatoes good, but corn will be very poor 
in most places because it did not germE- 
nate during the drought. J. gl, 
Weedsport. N. Y. 
Apples are dropping considerably, but It 
looks as though enough will remain to in¬ 
sure a fair crop. The crop of early apples 
in my orchards will be good. The peach, 
crop will be light in this section owing to 
the severe freeze in May. I wm, however, 
have some Early Crawfords and Elbertas. 
Aphis has been very plentiful in young 
apple and pear orchards, necessitating 
thorough spraying with whale-oil soap to 
save the trees from serious injury. Peach¬ 
tree borers have also been unusually plen¬ 
tiful. The crop of plums and prunes, also 
sour cherries, will be large in this section. 
Sweet cherries are a failure. The pear crop 
is spotted, some having a good crop and 
others hardly any. Young and old orchards, 
of all kinds are looking well in this sec¬ 
tion, especially those orchards which have> 
received intelligent care and attention- 
Those who failed to spray their orchards 
will probably have a lively battle next 
year to save their orchards from the im¬ 
mense amount of orchard pests which the 
drought of this season has made favorable 
for their propagation. One fine large apple 
orchard in this section whose owner neg¬ 
lected to spray was completely denuded of 
leaves by canker worms this year. Judging 
from what I have gathered regarding the 
apple crop in western New York this year 
I would say the crop will be a complete 
failure in sections, and cannot be classed 
any higher than fair. a. e. e. 
Brighton. N. Y. 
We have had so far one of the worst sea¬ 
sons we have ever known. March almost 
like May and June like April; after con¬ 
tinual rains and floods up to May 1 it clear¬ 
ed off cool and dry and the winds soon 
parched and baked the ground so nothing 
could grow and plowing had to stop. Since 
the last of May we have had continual 
rains and floods until farmers are well- 
nigh desperate; many have never been able 
to finish planting corn, while some have 
planted little if any, and much that was 
planted Is drowned out. Wheat has abun¬ 
dant straw, bearded about one-half to two- 
thirds of a crop, smooth head nearly a total 
failure. Fruit crop Is the heaviest I have 
ever known, except pears and cherries. 
Apple and peach trees are loaded to break¬ 
ing. raspberry and blackberry bushes were 
never so full, and I think there are more 
huckleberries in the woods than I have 
seen in all my life before put together. Hay 
which looked like a total failure has come 
out very well, but have no haying weather 
yet. o. o. G. 
Aylett, Va. 
The crop prospect is not at all flattering 
for either the fruit or grain grower in this 
vicinity. Apples may be half a crop, some 
varieties a fair setting, other kinds none. 
Peaches scarcely 25 per cent of a crop. 
Pears are a failure, except Kieffers, and 
even they have about failed on young 
trees. Plums of the Japan varieties are 
practically a failure; the European and na¬ 
tive have a full setting, but show signs of 
rot. Cherries are a total failure; some 
varieties are being greatly injured by the 
black lice. Grapes a full crop, but badly 
a-ffected by the lice. Of the small fruits 
strawberries were not a half crop, rasp¬ 
berries and blackberries promise a large 
crop; rain came in time to save them. 
Wheat and rye will be a fair crop, oats 
badly hurt. As to corn the prospect is 
doubtful with chances against it. Much 
that was planted during the drought came 
up badly; since the rain the ground has 
kept too wet to work; a large acreage is 
not yet planted at this date. June 27. Clover 
was ruined by continued drought. Timothy 
may be a good half crop under favorable 
conditions. It does not look as if this vi¬ 
cinity will turn out many millionaires this 
year. w. h. s.

A Canned “Combination.”— Among other 
canned goods I prepare a “combination” 
which consists of corn and tomatoes 
packed in same can for soup purposes. It 
is packed in No. 2 or what we term two- 
pound cans, and contains one-third corn 
and two-thirds tomatoes. The sale of this 
article is confined almost or entirely to 
Baltimore. Persons wishing to make vege¬ 
table soup by using this combination only 
have to open one can, which is enough 
for any ordinary sized family which other¬ 
wise would have to open two cans to get 
the necessary Ingredients and would have 
a surplus on their hands to get stale. Of 
course there is only a limited demand, 
but Baltimore consumes several thousand 
cases in a year. It generally brings about 
five cents per dozen more than Harford 
County packed corn, and Is more easily 
packed than corn. n. h. a,
