WHITE Posi-, March 2G.-As doubtless is
the case with you, we are now enjoying, or at
least, experiencing, great variety of weather.
Spring and winter, for the past two weeks,
seem to have been contending for the mastery,
and as the matter now stands, "old winter
seems to have gained the victory, as he has
once moro overspread the earth with his snowy
mantle. [ hope, however, this may provo a
diving effort, though it looks like ingratltude TO
complain of snow, now, when 1t afforded such
good protection to the wheat during the win
ter; but as is sometimes the case with friends,
they arc only valued when conducive to our
pleasure or interest.
The wheat;crop, think, l may safely say,
is a promising one throug hout this section; the
few days Of warm weather greatly improved its
appearance, and settled the question as 10 It's
not being winter killed. Witha prosperous sea-
son. we have every reason to look for q tull av-
erage crop. Many of our Virginia papers, I'M
Intentionally, do our farmers much harm by
greatly over estimating the crops in their varl-
Gus neighborhoods last year the prevailing
opinion, based entirely upon newspaper &C
counts was that the crop of Virginia was an
enormous one whereas, with the exception OF
portion of the Valley, it was in reality tail
ure Yet under the erroneous impression there
was great decline in prices when the new crop
first came to market, and all who sold early had
to suffer, spectators alone realized any benefit
know there is no bad motive for this, but
either from want OF proper information, or else
simple desire to speak favorably Of their par
| tieuar sections. ..
Very little spring ploughing has been done
Should the wet weather continue much longer
corn planting will be late. So soon as the
spring fairly opens, tbs said, work will be com
mcnced on the extension railroad from Win
chester to Strasburg Winchester, which has
been more prosperous since the war than for
years before, will doubtless be injured by this
| road, as the large trade now seeking that mar
ket in wagons, will pass through by rail.
