The wheat crop Is not failure in
this county, as many have often pre-
dicted, nor is it so far a half failure.
On the contrary. if no unforeseen
calamity overtakes it after this time,
Lincoln County will have a full crop,

a Lincoln County farmer has rarely
entered such a wheat harvest as will
be presented to it about the 4th or

We have, with our own eyes, been
examining the wheat prospects of this
county, and this Is the result of our
observation: Many fields that looked
bare two weeks ago, and in which the
wheat was supposed to be kilIeds are
now fast getting covering of green,
while those fields that we're supposed
to be in tolerably fair fix, are now
getting rank with the green blades of
the young wheat. The prospects now
for a good crop look more than fair.
We have seen some fields Of wheat
that are unsurpassed, and none that
will not turn out well.-LeringtO

WE are satisfied that the small grain
crops wheat, rye, and barley-are not
so badly kilied-Out as we were led 10
believe. We have seen some very
good fields of wheat, and none better
than that Of our old friend Mr. Ed.
Oldham's, who is one Of the best
farmers III Kentucky. lis seldom
that be fails to have good crops, and
the reason is that he never fails to
put his ground in good order to re-
ceive the seed. Good tillage makes
a good yield. - Lexington Statesman.
THE fine weather of the last few
days has been favorable for the wheat,
or, at least, what there is left of it.
We unders tand from our agricultural
friends that the prospect is a gloomy
one for crop Of any consequence,
and the indications are that we will
have to depend mainly on the corn

life " the coming season. - DaRUlLte

Our famers say there is no sign of a
prospect for wheat this year. The
wheat has all fozen out, leaving the
fields perfectly bare. AS our farmers
have met with but little success in
sowing Spring wheat they have no
faith in it. We will be entirely with
out a wheat crop this year, and will
have to live on corn dodgers for
while HaysuilLe Bulletin, 5th.
The wheat crop IN some sections
seems to be- more promising than it
was thought to be a while back. Two

different reports. The wheat of one
looks very well, indeed; the other ex-

the change which has taken place in

to the wheat aud other crops. Not
withstanding the severity of the Win

of the prospect in their respective |
sections.
From the UntOntOwn Appeal, l2th.l
The wheat crop will not be total
failure IN this part of the country, as
was supposed Many fields begin to
look green that were considered lost.
Wheat will be thin upon them.
