We have had an unusually dry season, 
and all crops have been greatly injured. 
Apples and pears are small but prices are 
good in the local markets. Peaches are a 
failure with us, owing to last Winter’s 
freeze. s. b. 
Morris Co., N. J. 
We have about four acres of potatoes, 
and if we get 100 bushels of sound tubers 
out of the field we shall do well. All 
through this locality the potato crop will 
be almost a total failure on account of rot. 
Grocery men and dealers are buying from 
hand to mouth, and shippers are not buying 
at all. or are offering only 25 to 30 cents 
per bushel. They are afraid to handle them. 
A number of farmers hereabouts make pota¬ 
toes a leading crop, and this season will be 
disastrous for them. d. a.

Government Crop Notes. 
The Spring wheat crop of North Da¬ 
kota, which is the heaviest yielding State, 
is 146,592,000 bushels. Minnesota came 
next, 66,676,000 bushels; South Dakota, 
52,540,000, and Washington. 26.4o9,000. 
No other Spring wheat State reached 6,- 
000.000 bushels. Minnesota leads all 
States in barley. 42.018,000 bushels; Cali¬ 
fornia, 41,760,000. Other States produc¬ 
ing more than 20.000.000 bushels are the 
Dakotas and Wisconsin. Iowa leads in 
oats, 219,789,000 bushels. Others yield¬ 
ing 75,000,000 to 182,000.000 are: Ohio, 
Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and 
North Dakota. 
Ohio Crops. 
The State Department of Agriculture 
reports that with the actual results of 
harvest now definitely known, Ohio s pres- 
ent wheat production is one of the poorest 
recorded by this department. The harvest 
figures are based on the area returned by 
township assessors less the estimated area 
plowed up as reported by official corre¬ 
spondents. No doubt the total production 
will show some increase over the estimate 
now reported. The harvest is now esti¬ 
mated at 10,454.425 bushels, an average 
production of but 10 bushels per acre. 
While this is somewhat better than earlier 
reports indicated, it practically means 
failure. The wheat generally is of poor 
quality. The State average is estimated 
at 76 per cent. One year ago quality was 
reported at 94 per cent, with a total 
estimated production of 31.092.382 bushels. 
Of the crop of 1911 it is estimated that 
10 per cent still remains in producers’ 
hands. Correspondents report that in some 
sections of State rains have retarded seed¬ 
ing. Manv note the fact that the 1913 
area will not be as great as the one just 
harvested. 
Oats show a bumper production, the 
harvest, being estimated at 83,171,314 
bushels. This is an increase of ap¬ 
proximately 37,000.000 bushels over the 
estimated crop of 1911. The average pro¬ 
duction per acre is reported at 44 bushels, 
as' against 31 bushels one year ago. The 
quality of the grain is excellent. 
Rye and barley productions also show 
healthy increases‘over last year. 
Corn prospects are most flattering. The 
present prospect is estimated at 96 per cent 
based upon 35 bushels per acre representing 
100 per cent. On the corresponding date 
one year ago the prospect was estimated at 
91 per cent. As tire area planted is much 
greater than in 1911 the harvest should 
be most bountiful. The crop is late in 
maturing, due to cool, wet we? +t *er in July 
and late planting. 
Reports indicate that the yield of pota¬ 
toes will be much greater than that of last 
vear. Correspondents estimate the present 
yield at 124 per cent in comparison with 
1911. In .the northeast section of State 
damage is reported by rot and grub worm. 
The crop of apples will fall far short of 
the excellent harvest of last year. In com¬ 
parison with that crop the present estimate 
is 63 per cent.
