TRENTON", Aug 9 Temperatures In

vesting of hay and grain is nearly flnl&lied.
with excellent yields In oats and re Corn
is in fine condition generally, and is tas-
seling In northwestern counties; generous
rains, however, would still further benefit
It.
"The growth of white potato vines has
given great promise, but digging, which
Is now becoming general, reveals a small
an unsatisfactory c'rop of tubers The
heat has Iml a generally good effect on
sweet potatoes nnd they have Improved
this week; there is some htem rot, which,
however, jlelds to treatment, and tho
whole crop will probably Be large.
"Tomatoes have suffered considerably
from scald, and there has been much loss
of yield In early varieties: the lato crop
Is now making good growth. Peaches arc
In fine condition and glvo great promise.
"Apples and pears ate poor. Berries
