TENNESSEE CRoP NEws-The Athens Post Of .
18Th ssye: ave learn from farmers who have com
ne9ced threshing that wheat is turning out badly,
net yielding more than half expected at harvest.
The quality IS good but the qusntty lie said to be
miserably short The market seems likely to open
here at 81, per bushels"
%he Cleveland Banner OF the 18th says eve
earn from our farmers that since they hsve com
menced ihrashiag their wheat that it does not turn
cut well-feng short at least one third 1t appears
upon close examinatiin that the heads are net
well filed out and that accounts for the deficiency
in The crop. The weather is now warm and dry il
this ssetion anath growing crops need rain badly
The Fayetteville Journal Of the II h says: While
Q IT neighbors in surrounding counties are rejoc
ARg at the prospect of large crops. the prospect in
Lincoln is gloomy enough. Many crops are AREA
dy past recovery, and if the drouih continues ten
days longer the corn crop vail be shorter than it
has been since 1854 and perhaps fully short as it
was in tbst year.
The LsEis5urs Messenger OF the 15th says:
Having travelled about some this week, We fnG, as
for as We knog, that more gloomy prospect for
at this SEASON nevsz appeared the people Of
our county as general thing. Some few have
good looking prospects, bus the many gloomy,
gloomy, Gloomy
The Hsrtsvige PEaiadeaisr of ths I6.h says:
"rhe corr crop is locking remarkably well in this
section Of country. In Macon and Smith,
general thing, it promises well, and also in this
portion of Sumner; but in the lower portion, and
even for six or eight miles this side of Gaatn, it
is small and probably will not make good yield
ara fc1gq how m a
this; but for some reason it IS remarkable that
IS much better in these upper eounirs and in this
part Ct Sumner than it is in any portion Of David
son, which have seen, or in The western Part Of
as county. Oats much better than farmers
hsd expected they would BE-. The rust in this por-
tiOn Of country did no very serious damage Wheat
is also much better than expected. 1t generally
stood light or scattered upon the ground, but the
hesds proved to be well developed and well filed"
The Clerksvine Chronicle of the 18Th says: The
continued drOuth lie causing great deal of uneas
and alarm among farmers in this section Ct
the oOuatry. Unless it rains very soon the and
tobacco crops viii be seriously injured. We hear
that on Wednesday evening last, there was quite a
heavy shower Of rain south Of Port RoysI we how
ever, had but fer Grsps here
The Dover IafelLgeaesr CT the 18th says: "The
weather at DIVER ard the Surrounding counlry, has
for some weeks been very dry, and vegetation is be-
ginning to suffer for want of rain. Crops in the
county, it is sad, look we'll, but gardens ia Dover
are very much parcEed
The Gallstin E5amiEer Of the 16 h says: "0n
Wednesday afternoon we were gladiened with
email shower Of rain at this place. The parcbed
earth soon drank it up, though as light as it was it
must have been Of advantage TO the gardens and
crops Towards the river South Of Galslin the rain
was much heavier, while to the west Of town, VIC
hear that that hsy had good, old fashioned, elFec
tive rain. The wealher-wise pretend ihat We viii
have another rain this Thursday evening"
