CRoPs.-The ClarkstilIe Ledger
Of Tuesday, gives an encour aging ac-
count of the crops in that section, as
follows:
During the past week We spent
two or three days in the country and
were pleased to see the cheering
Iprospeets for good crops in this sec
ton Wheat looks very well and
Promises a good crop-oats are all
Ipromising-corn, though young,
looks remarkably thrifty and fine.
Tobacco has not yet taken start,
and Quantities of it have just been
planted,and much more yet remains
to plant. We hear complaints of cut
worms and grass hoppers destroying
the plants IN some parts. But we
think the Prospect good for a heavy
crop this season, as the planters gen
orally are aiming at as large or larger
crops than ususI--and the rains Of
last week afforded them fine oppora
tunity for planting We trust our
country fri ends may not be disap-
pointed in their expectations, but
that they will receive, fair and profit
able prices for their produce next
fall.
On Wednesday, Of last week,
there was heavy hail storm in the
vicinity Of Bowling Green, KY
viii Oh did much DAMAGE to the
growing crops.
