In. the journey from Richmond to this
place Il foupd the corn crop exceedingly
promising all along the route. / have
never seen = more encouraging prospect
and n so universally good. The late
rains have sefaced the injury oil: the brief
drought that prevailed in a part Of the
country before they fell. and the corn, the
most recuperative, brave, and independents
of crops, is flourishing rs though it had
never known thirst. G
The Wheat crop is fair in the valley, but
inferior east of the Blue Ridge.
The oat crop is Indifferent from Rich
mond to the Allegheny Mountains. In
West Virginia it is good. Some fields have
the finest crops / ever saw.
Grass is generally n failure. Not n half
crop will, upon an average, be saved this
wear. What the cause of this extraordinary
and general failure is nobody can tell, or,
that is, none whom l have talked with
about it, The spring was uncommOnly
forward. and there was an abundance of
rain. Weeds seem to have sprung up with
unusual vigor and abundance everywhere.
The dog fennel and oXeye have taken pos
session Of many fields. Among grass-grow-
ers, however, the custom of cutting up the
corr while the grain is in the dough state
| and the stalks and leaves are green will go
far to make up the deficit of grass for long
food for stock the coming winter. The
habit, too, of broad-casting corn for hay is
somewhat extensive, and that will be q
help in the eXigency. -
The tobacco crop will be considera-
bly, diminished on account Of the de-
fectiye stand Of plants. The brief
drought of which I have spoken came just
as the planting was going on. and many
plants persisted in the sun, and before q
favorable season came to help the planters it
was too0late to put out plants. The crop
that stands, however, is rapidly improving
and may come out far better than antici-
pated. -
Upon, the whole, the years farming will
foot. UP n good total and bring up the
country several notches on its way TO re-
covery and prosperity. G. f. G.
