A 1ble disaster was averted Inst year by the extraordinarily fnvornble conditions pre vailing after the flrat of August, of which the early maturity, of the plant allowed It to take full ndvantoge. This year the crop Is from two to throe weeks later than the average, and probably four to five weeks Inter than last year, so that It Is lardly likely that last year’s autumnal growth will be duplicated this season."
