Growth Retarded, However, by Cool Nights of tho Past Weelc, Boston, Juno 4. Tho weekly crop bul letin of tho New England section e,f the climate and crop sorvleo of the weather bureau says: With but few exceptions correspondents complain of the cool nights that havo dis tinguished the past week. Tho tempera tures of thn day havo also been ge.noially low and the amount of sunshine deficient. Tho precipitation that was much needed in tho southern portions of tho section occurred generally throughout tho dis trict, in some localities being excessive. Most crops are reported as doing fail ly well, although their growth has been re tarded by the cool nights that havo pie vailed during tho week, nnd there has been but littlo advance, except In grains and grass, the ruins that have falfen hav ing helped theso crops considerably. All correspondents unite In saying that the season is now not in ndvanco of tho aver ago, and In tho northern portions of the section is a littlo backward. Full-sown grain Is doing well, except In a few localities where tho stand Is some what thin. Corn, In tho south, Is son e what yellow ed by tho heat and sunshine of tho preceding week. In parts of the northern portion of the section It was cut down by the frost that occurred on the morning of the 2'Jth; the concurrence of opinion Is, howover, that tho oullook Is good for that planted, and that more will be sown than is usually tho case In New England. Tho condition of the grass Is generally more favorably than It was last week, and the feed in the pastures Is Improving, es pecially In the northern portion. Clover that wnB somewhat Injured by fnt, has taken a new start and now bids lair to make a good crop. Old fields are some what thlu and a small yield Is to bo ex pected from them. Lowlands arc looking well, excopt where thuro Is an oxcesa of moisture In the ground. Pears, plums, and apples are reported as setting exceptionally full, excopt Bald win apples, which, as previously reported, were not making a heavy bloom. Peaches nro somewhat damaged by frost, bdt most reports Indicate that tho damage to all fruits by frost was much lens thun was thought at first. Strawberries aro ripen Ing slowly and aro small, but a fair crop Is expected. Complaint Is still mado of dam- ago by caterpllltirB, and canker-worms, and, ns mentioned In previous bulletins, caterpillars aro uncommonly abundant In portions of Massachussetts. Most garden truck Is reported as doing fairly well, although as Ih the caso with nearly nil crops, more sunshine and warm er nights aro needed. Tho frost of the 29th cut down some few potatoes and some sweet corn, but much escaped dam age owing to the high winds that pre vailed. Peas are in bloom in Connecticut and Rhode Island, with radishes up and nspnragus being cut. Work in tho potato raising sections of Malno has received a setback from the heavy rains during the week. The sotting of tobacco plants has been delayed by the showers of the week. Thoso already set are making good growth, but need more sunshine. Those not set are In good condition, nnd It In probable that setting will bo finished the coming week If the weather is favornble. VERMONT PENSIONERS. Washington, Juno 1.
