DEAR SIk-Having your CIRCULAR In the Herald Of
the 10Th lust, has induced send you statement
of the crops In this section.
The hay crop fair average one aud well secured
Corn GU high ground much piuched by the drought
which began to b. felt about the 25h OF July
ued Till the lsi Seotember wish the exception of
two slight showers Not more than half crop high
ground on moist land, good aud fair crop; sedom
better. No wheat this speak of but barley
considerable sown, aud excellent crop. Beans are
good fair CROP but the drought pinched them some,
otherwise there would have been very heavy crop.
There Is fair crop OF potatoes this year. compared to
last year. Those planted early, and of early kind
yielded fair crop; those planted late and where the
drought did not kill the vines have been renovated BY
the late rains, and there will be fair average crop. The
article is of superior quality former years. Upon
the whole, think We have good complain of
short crops in this section, Yours &e.,
GEO NJ FREEMAN.

P.S--Apples quite abundant, but not so large as
some years, as the protraced drought affected them
