menced to cut their wheat, and from
the best information we gather, the
yieles will be gqual to if not larger
than last year We heard a few say
their wheat has been damaged by
rust, but the instances OF this kind
are few. The barley crop is srepre-
sented to be good Fears are eN-
pressed by some that the. oat crop
is ln)ared considerably by rust, bat
many tell US that an average crop
will be harvested. The corn crop
promises fair yield, but its growth
has been retarded by the late f osts.
We have every reason to believe
that the grain crop OF the northern
portion OF Texas will be equal to
that OF last year. .-4Sherman Jour
