Winter wheat in the north .part of the state shows considerably higher yields than in the southern part. Threshing is completed with yields and quality poor. Spring wheat practically a failure and many fields abandoned.

jais inresning is practically com-

pleted. Yields and weight per measured bushel are very light. Some fields were out for hay, others abandoned. Barley same as oats. Rye same as winter wheat. The late potato crop is very poor. Some fields have a fair vine growth but no potatoes. " Others have neither. Cooler weather during the week has been very beneficial to all truck crops. Tobacco shows some improvement over last week but will not produce more than half a crop. Tree fruits continue to show deteriorations. Grapes show improvement. Live stock is in fair condition.
