TOBACCO CROP OF KENTUcKY.-The Green River
(Ky.) Wing Of the l7th ult the following re-
marks c oncempg the tobacco crop in that State
In regard to tobacco the prospect is almost immea
eureably han in regard to corn and the best
can say is the planters aimed large crop, but will
not realise more than one-thrd of what the fruits Of
such design would have been had the season been at
all propitious, Instead fbeing the most uunx-
eddy disastrous known in the tobacco region. The
lands were prepared for extensive planting, but the
treme wetness OF the early part OF the made
plants remarkably scarce, that much of the ground
intended for tobacco had to be devoted to other purpo
SEES This bauked the calculation Of planters and threw
them farther behind than they ever have been in
anvrevious year. Still the rains continued and the
crop which was Sc out With much care and expense
could not be worked. After while, however, came
die dry weather, and with it necessarily very
bad stand oftobacco; planters went to work and did
their best to clean the rank weeds cut ofther ields;
some of them have succeeded very respectfully, but
great number are still terribly inte grass Yet the
prospect would nothave been uninyiting it is at
present, it, in addition to all other difficulties, the
drought had not succeeded the floods OF the spring.
For least six weeks the planters have been anxious
y wishing for ructyng showers; but the rains have
not come and the time when any beneficial influence
could be hoped from them is entirely past S o
far that hope concerned, the drought may well
continue; and, except ortheir personal comfort far
mers have ceased ask any avors from the obdurate
Clouds which occasionally shade the burningskies for
short time, and then hasten elsewhere to dist ge-
nially upon the Just and the UNJUST"
In addition to these drawbacks the worm has de-
stroyed extensively and looking at the prospect which
all Of them combined have produced no man in his
senses can expect than onetbird Of crop OTTO
bacco. So great result halfa crop isnot expected
