A CCORDING to the New Jersey crop 
. report of June, of the United 
States Department of Agriculture, in 
cooperation with the New Jersey De¬ 
partment of Agriculture, farm crops in 
general will be below normal this year. 
The condition of the wheat crop on 
June 1 indicated that it will run about 
83 per cent normal with an estimated 
production of 1,290,000 bushels as com¬ 
pared with 1,515,000 bushels, the aver¬ 
age production of the past 10 years. 
The area of oats seeded this spring 
is estimated to be 95 per cent of last 
year’s acreage, while the condition of 
rye was 91 per cent normal. Corn is 
approximately 100 per cent, with an es¬ 
timated acreage of 236,000 acres, com¬ 
pared with 264,000 acres, the average 
area planted in the last 10 years. 
Early estimates of the acreage of po¬ 
tatoes planted this season is 84 per cent 
of last year. On June 1, the condition 
of this crop was estimated at 89 per 
cent of normal as compared with 90 
per cent last year. Early estimates of 
the sweet potato plantings indicate that 
the acreage this year is. about 98 per 
cent of last year’s. 
On June 1 the condition of hay was 
estimated at 72 per cent normal, indicat¬ 
ing a producetion of 349,000 tons com¬ 
pared to 485,000 tons and 487,000 tons, 
the average production for the past 10 
years. It is estimated that slightly 
more clover will be cut this year than 
last year, although the condition of the 
crop was considerably below the aver¬ 
age of the past several years. There 
will be more alfalfa cut this year, it is 
believed, although the crop is only 88 
per cent normal as compared with 91 
per cent last year. The acreage of 
timothy for harvest this year is esti¬ 
mated slightly above last year’s acreage, 
although the condition of the crop on 
June 1 was 72 per cent normal. The 
pastui’es are considerably below last 
year and the. past 10 year average. 
It is estimated that the apple crop 
will be of about 78 per cent of a nor¬ 
mal crop, indicating a production of 
slightly over 2,000,000 bushels. The 
commercial crop is estimated at 468,- 
000 barrels, compared with 522,000 bar¬ 
rels last year; 501,000 barrels, the aver¬ 
age production for the last 3 years. 
The condition of the peach crop was 
somewhat better, being estimated at 
84 per cent. Pears are slightly better 
than apples, although not quite as good 
as peaches, being estimated at about a 
80 per cent normal crop.

NEW JERSEY COUNTY NOTES 
Hunterdon Co.—The drouth during 
the latter part of June has developed 
most seriously. During the whole 
month of June we have had only one 
shower. Wheat, rye and grass are suf¬ 
fering with dry weather. The pasture 
on the upland farms are dry. Some 
farmers have been cutting their wheat 
and what grass they have to feed their 
cows, and now some are cutting off their 
oats to feed to cows. Hay time is here 
and some farmers have none to cut. It 
will take two acres to make a load. 
Corn is looking bad. It got a poor 
start on account of the cold late spring. 
Some fields were planted over. Pota¬ 
toes are looking good. Apples are a 
failure in this part of the State. All 
garden truck is suffering from hot 
winds and drouth.—J. R. E. 
Cumberland Co.—We are having very 
dry weather with intense heat. . This 
combination has played havoc with all 
crops. Hay will only be a quarter crop. 
Grain will be poor. Premature ripen¬ 
ing will cause shriveled grain. Pastures 
are drying up, and feeding of cattle 
has consequently become a necessity. 
Wheat $1.15, corn, 90c; oats, 6c; hay, 
$20; early potatoes, $1 a bushel; eggs, 
28c; milk wholesale, 6c per quart; live 
poultry, 20 to 40c.;—A. P. S. 
Meadows and pastures are looking fine. 
Raspberries and strawberries and black¬ 
berries promise an excellent crop. 
Sweet cherries will be a failure, while 
sour cherries will yield about a half 
crop. Some varieties of apples will 
make a full crop, while others will be 
an entire failure. Peach crop will be 
about 75 per cent normal, plums 25, 
pears 25. The corn crop planted is 
about 125 per cent normal and is mak¬ 
ing good growth. The labor question 
is serious in this section. The more 
foreigners we get the worse it becomes. 
It takes two good bosses to get one 
day’s work from one of them. Coal 
mines are not running very short, only 
about 10 per cent.—E. Warm an. 
Dauphin Co.—Some splendid fields of 
alfalfa and sweet clover are being har¬ 
vested. Wheat has improved wonder¬ 
fully and may give a good crop. Roads 
are looking very nice. Corn has been 
damaged considerably by cut worms. 
Timothy fields are short, some of them 
being all weeds. Potatoes look good, 
acreage has been reduced, bugs are 
very plentiful. Fruit will yield a fair 
crop. Wheat $1.20, corn 90c, oats 55c, 
potatoes $1.20, milk $2.55 per hundred, 
eggs 28 to 30c, strawberries 15 to 25c, 
cherries 10 to 20c. Days are warm and 
nights are cool.— I. F. Alleman. 
Cumberland Co.—The long dry spell 
that we have been experiencing was 
broken by heavy rains and thunder 
showers accompanied by hail. Many 
buildings in this section were struck by 
lightning and crops damaged. Tele¬ 
phone and electric service was very 
much handicapped. Crops will be about 
a month late this year owing to the cool, 
late Spring. The hay crop, especially 
clover, will be short. Farmers are now 
making the first cutting of alfalfa. 
Corn did not come up very well. Very 
little Stock changing hands, _ except 
calves. Some sheep shearing is being 
done. The farmers are undecided 
whether to sell or not. Potato bugs 
have made their appearance in large 
numbers. Wheat $1.25, corn 70c, po¬ 
tatoes 60c and eggs 22c—J. B. Kelly. 
Crawford Co.—The weather is cold 
and nothing is growing very well. 
Everything seems late. Meadows and 
wheat are below normal. Pastures 
are poor for this time of the year. Light 
frosts were experienced during early 
June. Butter, 45c; eggs, 20 to 25c; 
cream, 36c. The dirt road's are in good 
condition. Road construction work is 
going on in a number of places in the 
county. Farmer help is scarce. There 
is little or no building being done.—J. 
T. S. 
Easier thani 
Whitewash 
It takes less than five minutes to mix 
the Carbola powder with water and 
have it ready to use as a white paint 
and powerful disinfectant. No wait¬ 
ing or straining ;no clogging of sprayer. 
Does not spoil. Does not peel or flake. 
Disinfectant is right in the paint 
powder—one operation instead of 
two. Gives better results, costs less.

PENNSYLVANIA COUNTY NOTES 
Fayette Co.—We have had some very 
dry weather up until about a week ago, 
when a rainy spell set in. The winter 
wheat is looking fine and will un¬ 
doubtedly make a good crop. The 
prospects for a good oats crop is good. 
CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA 
NOTES 
J. N. GLOVER 
Cultivation of corn is taking more of 
the farmers’ time now-a-days. The crop 
is growing rapidly, but could stand a 
great deal more rain and warmer 
nights. The timothy crop will un¬ 
doubtedly be short this year. Clover is 
shorter on the stalk than usual. Wheat 
has improved much since it has headed 
out. Oats is short and up to the mid¬ 
dle of June has made very little growth. 
Pastures are fair. 
Early cherries promise a good crop 
this year. Some varieties of apples 
will yield well, while others are going 
to be scarce. Plums will make a good 
crop, while potatoes will yield only fair. 
Wheat has dropped to $1.20 a bushel, 
while corn went up slightly to 90c, oats 
55c. Old hay is selling slowly at $16 
per ton for the best. Wheat straw $11 
per ton. 
Fresh cows have been generally _ m 
good demand and good ones are selling 
up to $150 or better. Except for the 
prices received by Dairymen’s League 
for milk, farmers would be more dis¬ 
couraged over the price situation, than 
they are, although many are planning to 
hold a sale next spring and quit farm¬ 
ing. 
We think a good deal of the Ameri¬ 
can Agriculturist, and would not care 
to be without it.—Mrs. E. F. Gardener, 
Moscow, Pa.
