Crops, &c IN WARREN Co.. O.-Rs
we are having very singular weather in
this section, with rather serious results,
I drop you few lines on the subject.
We have had cold. wet summer so
far, with repeated storms, accompanied
bv hail, often of large size, in MANY
instances as large as hens eggs; the eff.
feet is, the peach and other fruits are
seriously Injured, in some places total
" destroyed-many crops, wheat and
other small grain, rendered entirely
worthless, except to p|ow under. The
red weevil ia also infesting our whe,t
10 very serious extent, reducing it
in many places to less than half crop;
grass is also short, White Dutch clover
occupying hy far too much space in the
fields. which will materially reduce the
average. Corn and potatoes, though
both fully two weeks later than usual,
are now growing, look of good color,
and will I trust, produce an average
crop. We shall not have half crop
of peaches; the trees do not look
healthy. and the fruit is falling off fast;
much Of what remains, appears diSeas-
ed, having a kind Of mildew or mold
in large spots over the fruit; this win
either cause it to fall off or render it
worthless. We would like to know if
this is general throughout all parts Of
the country, and would also be much
pleased to he posted as largely as pos
sible "a to the prospect Of crops gener
ally throughout the country. With us,
things on the whole look discouraging
ly, but we must toah and hope. Pears
and apples, as yet, promise well--T. D.
