Temperatures during September were about normal, with four days with readings of 70 degrees and above. The warmest day recorded 84 degrees in the period from 8 Sept. 9 to 8 Sept. 10. The minimum was 40 degrees on the 3rd, 4th and 22nd. A very few growers began about Sept 10 or 11, but most waited until about the 17th. Color was very slow to develop and was one reason for delayed harvesting. Size is generally average or less and quality appears very good to excellent. Probably only about one third of the crop was picked by the end of the month, which means only about half of the Early Blacks were in. Two frost warnings, on the 27th and 29th, but the cold temperatures did not occur, which was fortunate, as some growers were out of water for frost protection. The Massachusetts crop is very difficult to predict and could decline if we do not get a substantial rainfall soon and if a bad frost happens. However, at this time, we appear to < be holding close to the August estimate. * * * * Dr. Charles Brodel attended the Eastern Branch Meeting of the Entomological Society of America in Baltimore, M
