.'Several Buyers" Of fine manufacturing
tobacco, make the following suggestions tc
growers in Virginia and North Carolina:
LIST. Let the plant be fairly ripe before
cutting. .-.
I'd. Take The largest plants for wrappers
and cure them yellow. --'. / -.
Sd. Cure The other portion Of the crop,
If possible, IN the sun-but il forced by

made of oak or hickory-not Of pine. Let
the wood be seasoned in The spring of The
year before. II there is much fire or smoke,
put il out, and let the tobacco take two
days sun-and at night crowd it together
to prevent the dew from falling toe much
on the leaf. -s
The Planters Advocate, published at
Upper Marlboro, Nd, says there can be
no doubt Of the failure of the tobacco crop
in that portion of Maryland.
The Louisville Journal says:
We learn that heavy rains have recent
ly fallen in Indiana, Illinois and Ohio, great
ly bene6tting the corn crop, which now
promises an abundan, yield. On the 9TH
er hand, we learn that the tobacco is in
many localities s,unied in its growth, with
no possibility Of over half crops in those
localities. Will our planting friends inform
us in regard to this important stspleP
The accounts from the Southern States
in regard to the corn, cotton, and tobacco
crops, which have been received within the
last few days have been very gloomy. The
boil worm and caterpillar have appeared
in many Of the cotton fields of Texas, Lou
isiana, Mississippi and Alabama, and while
in some sections there has been too much
rain, in others drought is complained off,

ones were untouched-the crops present

sured by gentleman who has been trav-

be far below good average yield, the
drought having hurt both corn and tobacco
in majority Of places. An experienced
tobacco grower informs US that his crop,
and his neighbors' which are among the
best in the county. are very badly fired.
and that the leaf will be light. So our
planters may reasonably expect a continual

any rough food for stock, and horses, mules

The GAINESVILLE (Tenn. Chronicle says:

Unanimously are substituting millet and
grasses for oats with great success, and
the substituted crops look well.
The chattanooga Advertiser Of the 2Oth,
gives gloomy account Of the crops in that
region:
The corn crop in Hamilton and adjacent
counties has been injured beyond recovery
for want Of rain. Here, in Chattanooga,
we have had no rain for more than four
weeks, and corn, pasturage and shrub, and
the whole vegetable world presents
parched appearance. notwithstanding
this lack cf rain, the health OF the town is |
remarkably good.
The Lebanon (Tenn.) Herald, Of the
26,h, says:
The crops in this region are suffering for
rain. Late corn, in some localities, will
unquesiionably be cut short ct least one
third. Early corn, as general thing, will
turn out well.
