Depart ment of Agriculture. , The early September rains, follow ed by flno growing weather, were very helpful to late potatoes, corn, pastures, cabbage, tomatoes, etc. No killing frost lo dato, except in some of the higher altitudes, has further contributed to the fine fall weather conditions In -tho western part of the state. The east- ern part oT the state has not fared nttlte so well, however. Mince the early Keptemhcr rains were lacking and theto has been somewhat more frost damage, although not general. Tho late September and early Octo ber rains appear to have been quite gene r.'il over the state, but too light to huve been greatly beneficial In the eastern portion of the state. Hasten. utegon wneai rarmers nave own . to seed their summer fallow for a month or more, but have walled oh account of lack ot soil condition for planting, the seeding of winter wheal on summer fallow will be In full swing by October Uth, since It Is not considered advisable to defer fall seed ing much later than that date. j In tho western part of the state the rfceent rains have put the soil in ex cellent condition for potato digging, and tho early and mid-season plant ings are now being dug. Kail plowing and silo filling are nutjor farm opera tions In tho western district at this time. Reports from Agricultural Statisti cians lo the Department at Washing ton, 1. C., for the period September 1H to 3n, give the following In formation: "Plowing and seeding of fall sown grains has generally been delayod in most $oetions by lack of moisture in the soil and Is reported to be prac tically at a standstill in Illinois, In diana, and Michigan. In many sec tions farmers are delaying the seed-1 Ing of wheat, waiting for fly free dates. There is ample moisture re ported from Missouri, eastern Kan s.is, and parts of Nebraska and Iowa. Seeding Is nearly completed in west ern Kansas, and much of the wheat Is up In the eastern sect ion of t hat state. Threshing of wheat is In pro gress In the middle northern slates and is grading high In North Oakota and Montana except for slight dam ago in spots by rain." "The ylold of White Potatoes Is run ning from poor to good In New Eng land with quality about as usual. In New York blight and rot have in creased rapidly of late. l-'rom many sections of the country the crop is reported us being of Inferior quality. Tho Michigan crop has suffered somo frost damage, and scab damage has been extensive in Illinois and Indiana." "Winter apples are being picked In New York. The crop is large but qual ity low outside oT the commercial or chards. Virginia apples arc going into storage In good cudition. Yields are reported to be above expectations in West Virginia. lit tho middle west states the apple crop is generally large but under-sized and much damage by scab Is report ed.
