Excerpt from Massachusetts Crop Report, 1908, Vol. 21
Herewith we present the first issue of the crop report for the current year. These bulletins will be issued monthly until November 1, and will be made up in much the same way as in former years, with information as to crop and climatic conditions, both in Massachusetts and throughout the United States, reports of correspondents, and special articles on subjects which are, or should be, of interest to our farmers. The article for the present issue is on "Potato-growing Suggestions," by Dr. Chas. D. Woods, director of the Maine Agricultural Experiment Station. The potato crop is one which is sadly neglected by most of our farmers, whereas it is one of the great money crops of Maine. Dr. Woods is thoroughly posted on their methods of growing the crop, and has prepared a thorough and very instructive article, special emphasis being laid on the importance and value of spraying, and full directions being given therefor.
Progress of the Season.
The Crop Reporting Board of the Bureau of Statistics of the United States Department of Agriculture (Crop Reporter for May, 1908) finds the area of winter wheat standing on May 1 to have been about 20,751,000 acres, which is 4.2 per cent, or 1,318,000 acres, less than the area reported as sown last fall, and 5.8 per cent, or 1,619,000 acres, more than the area harvested last year. The average condition of winter wheat on May 1 was 89 per cent, as compared with 91.3 per cent on April 1, 82.9 on May 1, 1907, and 85.8. the mean of the averages of the past ten years.
The average condition of rye on May 1 was 90.3, as compared with 89.1 on April 1, 88 on May 1, 1907, and 89.5, the mean of the averages of the past ten years.
