Tennessee Crop Neyrss
Our farmers inform US that they never had finer
nrosnects for abundant crops OF corn tlan q
present Oats too, look very fine, and have thus far
entirely eseaped the rust which has proved so fatal
to the oat crop generally, for the last two OF three
years It has usually made its appearance earlier
than this and the farmers are in hopes that oats WA
escape its blight this year. If the oatcrop should es-
cape injury 1t VIII BE great relief 70 the country,
owing the scarcity Of ccrn and the very hn price
at which il selling Spring wheats beng mar vest,
ed That put in the ground about the middle OF
January after the first sowing had been frozen Out
BY the hard winter is very hne-that put IN the
ground az later period looks well, but Tears are
entertained that the rust may yet strike II Late
wheat where it was not frozen out Is very me.
Upon the whole, we are under the impression that
that there will be considerably more wheat raised
in this section than was anticipated month or TWO
ago. Chattanooga Reflector, June II.
We learn from gentleman who lives near Peach
er's mill, that the farmers in that vicinity nave
commenced harvesting. he says although the wheat
stands very thin on the ground 1t IS generally CON
ceded that there viii be Ito the straw more than an
average croD Il Is generally reported through the
country that the yield will be much greater than
was at first anticipated, and that It viii be equal If
not greater than the crop of last year The season
has been somewhat unfavorable for planting tobac-
co, and not more than half the farmers have m
ished We hear great deal Of complaint in regard
TO the ravages Of the cut-worms. They have de-
stroyed the crops 70 such extent that II has re-
quired a second third, and very often fourth
re planting This is not the case every where put =
confined to certain localities. The farmers seem =
think that unless the cat crop IS oyerlaAeu ~ -
rust it VIII be one Of the finest that mas Dee
for years. The corn everywhere LOOKS iiea'iR -
fine IN fact. we never saw it look DetteI' Lfely
farmer we have seen seems to be buoyea up Win
the idea that we will have an extra crop-O'd'''S-

While passing through the counties OF GUNNER
Davidson and Rutherford several days since, we
were careful to note the appearance OF lhe corn
fields which came within our obserYaton' and we
are prepared to assert that we have no recollection
of ever seeing a more hatterlng prospect Tor an
abundant corn crop than we looked upon IN the
above named counties. Everywhere the corn ap-
De7red well grown, vigorous, full Of life. Our
farmers NAV congratulate themselves upon the
glowing promise Of an abundant reward for their
labor this SUMNER dlGtiR Courier and EnquiTT,

We had gentle and refreshing rain in this imme-
date vicinity on Tuesday of this week. From the
appearance of the clouds, we think it was general
throughout the county Most of the crops in Ruth
erford, except the wheat crop, are very promising
The corn crop generally appears to be doing well
and the cotton crop is better than it at this time
last year.--M uJreesbOrO' Nelrs, June H.
