Garden pole beans.—About one-fourth of the garden pole beans were harvested by Septem- ber 26, with an average yield per acre of 600 IMunds. In Idaho, where a greatly increased acreage was planted, a yield of 1,200 pounds is reported on the acreage harvested, while in Oalifomia the yield is only 500 and in Colorado 800 pounds. "With these yields on an unusually large acreage, a production much greater than normal seems assured. Cabbage.—Of the 1,074 acres planted for cab- bage seed production this year approximately 60 per cent was abandoned as a total failure. Two hundred and seventy acres harvested on Long Island, N. Y., yielded 250 pounds per acre, while an average yield per acre of 400 pounds was obtained from approximately 200 acres har- vested in the Puget sound district. Cucumt)er.—The cucumber seed crop, especially in Colorado, has met with adverse conditions during the last two months. About one-third J of the acreage has been abandoned as a result of damage by hail and aphis. The growing con- dition of the remaining acreage is reported to be only sixty per cent of last year and about sev- enty per cent of normal. Under these condi- tions the total production will be far below nor- mal. Muskmelon.—Considerable damage was done to the muskmelon seed crop, also, in Colorado by hail and aphis, and about one-fourth of the acre- age has been abandoned. ,.
