Losses to farmer throughout Dutches county continue to mount aa the third straight month In which there has been a rub normal rainfall nears an end A survey made yesterday shows that condition are bad t'l through the county although the Hudson valley region and the central part of the county are suffering far worse man the Harlem valley area, A new peril loomed as farmers In all parts of the county reported that atreims have reached an all time low and that unless rain come loon their stocks win be faced with an actual shortsge of water. In some regions streams, wells and other water sources have already dried up and ttrmera art being forced to car ry water for their stock Pastures have been literally burned up. Instead ot verdant green field through the county one tees endless stretches of brownish colored fields with, very little sign of Jive Brass.

TD1 condition has forced firmer to feed their stock through the months, when normslly herds of cows are practically self supporting through foraging. Many trmera have Increased the supply of grain feed to stock end practically an are feeding from tneir stock of freth cut hay. Others are HONSV TO tON sue la Uw Waal mowing oats green and feeding them either once or twice dally. Despite thli feeding program, milk production is falling off and fanners fsce a loss, of revenue despite added expense Arthur L. Shepherd, county agent of the Farm bureau, pointed out last night that It la lmpoilble to estimate the loss in dollsrs and cents The effect of the drought may be felt not only for the duration of this season but for several years to come.

Unless rain. In sufficient amount to soak the ground thoroughly come soon pastures may be permanently burped out and require, new seeding before being available for further use. New seed, sown this spring, has been burned to a crisp and a very sparse hay crop is anticipated for next year. Absence of rain hurt the hay crop for this year, particularly clover and grower who have counted on second crops of clover have been badly disappointed. Corn la beginning to feel the effects of the lack ot rain It Is beginning to "roll" which is an indication that growth Is practically stopped The situation It made more critical for the corn crop due to tbe tact mat spring was act ana lit and farmers were way behind schedule In getting this crop planted As a result It is.

estimated that very little if any corn will ripen for hulking this fill and the supply of erul)age will also be way below normal. Rain, now, would doubtless aid the com crop considerably but practically all farmera agree that tbe crop Is stunted and win not be up to normal while further dryness will seriously damage the chancea of producing a crop worth harvesting. Oats and buckwheat have probably been hit harder than any of the grain crops. Tbe straw of neither crop has attained its usual height and even where the cop was planted very early the grain ha not filled out well due to the lack ot moieture. Many farmers are planning to mow these crops and either teed them to stock now or put them In with hay for winter feeding.

Thla again will necessitate the buying ol additional grain and bedding through the winter months. The larger truck gardener have avoided the worst effects of the drought by the use of artificial watering but with the supply of water running low In many areas may be necessaryTor them to die (ItooUl To TB KHte Ktinl RED HOOK.
