The farmers complain that the wheat has an UNI
usually small head THIS season. Perhaps il will

POTATOES ~ cARoLISE
"A
greater area of land has been devoted 10 th cul-
turc of potatoes this year than ever before, and
the crop Is looking exceedingly well. We have
been shown some potatoes, of this years growth
fully as large as n walnut.
rEACHEs--A GREAT cgor IL PROSPECT.
The same paper says that whatever may have
heretofore been said ur written as to the failu,c
oil the peach crop III this county, we are now sat
isfcd that the crop will be abundant From
every quarter we have ample assurances that the
crop will fully equal, II not surpass, that of two
years ago, and our own observation fully com
firms this testimony. One calamity yet awaits
the fruit ere IL will ripen-that OF falling on from
the eff cts of the late uufivorable wcathcr-ard
If i successfully passes through this period we
shall have peaches in abundance.
DELAWARE COUNTY.
The Media American of the 26th says IT'S a
long time since we noticed 50 many evidences
of Il plentiful fruit crop, in this section OF the
country, us Is now presented. The cherry trees
are loaded, while every peach tree not to far ad-
vanccd towards decay, is well filled with healthy
looking fruit. The apple trees are also promising
an unusually large supply Our adylces from
other sections, all speak encouraging;y of the
coming crops.
