crops on Bull RIM.

The crops are suffering very much for rain in
this neighbOrhood just now. Corn looks toler-
able we'll Wheat is short-one-third the usual
crop; oats about three-fourths crop. In the
Brushy Valley, corn will not yield more than
one-fouth to one-half crop. The potato crop is
likely to be short, from the fact that they did
not come up WELL and what did come up, the
potato bug is destroying. Gardens are light
but it is a hard drive at this time.
