Epecial Dispateh to The § BALTIMORE, Md. une §.—Failure of nearly half the fruit crops of the state has brought Maryland farmers to the brink of disaster. l Startling conditions are revealed by the answers to a special question- naire sent out by John S. Dennee of the bureau of agriculture. Only two districts in the state will harvest more than three-quarters of their crop, the average being less than 60 i per cent. Farmers of the state declated with- | out exception that late frosts have !damaged most of the fruit crops in their sections. Pears Saffer Mont. Pears suffercd more heavily than any other fruits. In Charles, St. Mary fand Calvert counties growers stated | that lees than 10 per cent of a normal crop will mature. Anne Arundel growers declared the |outlook very had for peaches, apples and pears. " It is estimated only 47 per cent of a normal crop can reach the market from Anne Arundel, Prince Georges and Montgomery counties. Conditions in Howard | i county were sald to be as bad. | Washington county, normally the heaviest producer in the state, suf fered badly from frost. One grower, Iwho at the beginning of the seagon iexpected 2,000 barrels from 1,000 trecs, estimates his total crop at ma- turity at about 100 bushels. Losses of 60 Per Cent. Dorchester county growers reported losses averaging 50 per cent. | Maryland cantaloupes will be scarce and expensive this summer. | " Wheat sharcd the general fate.

Special Dispeteh to The Stai |, RICHMOND, Va., June 8.—The to- {bacco crop in Virginia this year will be a short one, due to the long drought that has prevalled for the period of the planting scason. Not one-halt of the crop is yet in the hills, and the plants are now too large for setting. There has been no rain here for four weeks, save that yesterday afternoon there “was a terrific downpour for perhaps ten minutes, which did not entirely cover the city. The corn crop is also poor, the plants being backward, and the farm- ers are unable to plow because of the dry and hard ground. The situation is very gloomy for tha farmers in every way, and as small crops were belng planted, and this being re- tarded by the drought, the prospects are anything but assuring. Even if there is a season now for setting the | tobacco piants the belief is that it m! too late for the growers to cultivate and mature it in time for harvesting before the frosts come. ROCKVILLE.
