CRoPs.--Wc are informed that the
recent rains have not damaged the
crops, so far, to any extent. The hail
on Sunday, in some places, did not
help the corn crop, but fortunately did
not injureait much. Should the heavy
rains of the past three weeks continue,
the wheat crop would undoubtedly be
ruined; but VIC have no reason thus far,
to predict otherwise than rich reward
to thefarmers the coming fall. aaa7a
