The Corn Crop-.G:oorny Pr sPects.
Throughout fhe3Gulf States the drought.
which prevailed during the. latter part Of
June and the greater portion of July, cut OF
the corn crop irredeemably. Those States.
or the most of them, are now purchasing sup
plies from the great granary of the west
and will be necessarily compelled to keep it
mp next year until they can make crop, if
they shall be SO Fortunate The FIRST Of July
the prospects of most bountiful crop in
Tennessee were unusually eheefing.. The
smiles of the planter when he spoke of them
We're pleasant to contemplate !: but to-day,
the 1st of August, the glowing prospects aud
and gloomy ceuhtenances have taken their
places Tennessee will not have a dollars
worth of corn to sell. She has scarcely
enough wheat for home consumption. she
has no hay-Fer clover fields are burnt mp
and her stock of oats is being fed to stock
already. She will, therefore, be buyer for
another season dependent upon the more
fortunate western States. This is unfortu-
nate. Already in debt, far too de ply ID
debt, it will require the practice of real econ
omy amongst her people to keep them from
realizing the hardest times seen here for
many years. Begin the work of retrench-
ment now, keep it up until the evil day is
past, and you will feel all the better for your
seIfdenial when the better day comes.
But is there no way 10 modify the evils of
a loss of the corn crop? Is there no crop
that can be substituted for il, in an emergen
cy like the present? Are there none of the
grasses that mature rapidly, which can be
sown and reaped before cold weather comes
with it's eager and nipping airs to check its
life currnet? What of The Hungarian grass?
Will it hot suit the economy? What sag our
farmers whv have tried IL heretofore? "a
