1HE IROPS II rom the best information
We can gather from our exchanges, the wheat
crop IN this State will be small one. Up to
the first Of May the promise was very fine,
but the wet weather producing rust, the
chineh bug and joint-worm have done the
work, and the high hopes of the farmers
have been dashed to the ground. Never
before have the promises for very large
crop Of tobacco been better The planters
the State, have finished setting
out their plants, and the season for the ten
days has been truly magnificent, and there is
no doubt that the stand is most exc .llent.-
With ordinary luck, the crop must be very
large one. The oats promise very well. The
corn is ton small to say much about. The
cold wet Spring has very much retarded its
growth, and it is very backward; but with
cultivation, and wet August,
fair crop may be housed. -Lynchbury Rep.
