COOP News. From all sections we have
the most cheering news as to the coming
crops. Col. John A. Mcdonald, of Chat
ham county, gave us a call last week, and
reports the wheat, oats, corn. &c, through
out his entire county as better than ever
known before. We hear the same from
farmers of this, Randolph, Stokes, Surry,
Forsythe, Davidson, Alamance, and in fact
most every county in the State.
From a correspondent at Reidsville,
Rockingham county, we learn that the crop
of wheat is already harvested, and is the
best in quality since the year 1916, and, in
quantity, probably never before eQualled.
Flour has already fallen 335 per cent, and
holders will have to submit to a much
greater decline. Oats are about made, and
the crop is good one. Corn is very pro-
missing. We have good stand of tobac-
CO but it is too soon now to say how corn
and tobacco will come in.-Greensboro'
