The Corn and Bnektchedt Crops
The corn crop in Carroll county, Tex
cept ia one or two neighborhoods where
the rains have not been sufficient, J will
be immense. A greater area than usual
was planted last spring 10 consequence
of the failure in the wheat, many fields
having been plowed up and planted in
corn. The crop may now be consider.
cd nearly mature, and the yield will be
large upon greatly enlarged area, and the
fodder will go far to supply the deficiency
in hay. The buekwheat crop, also, will
be very large and fac, more having
been planted thnn usual. The increased
yield Of corn and buekwheat, it is be.
lieved, will nearly compensate our
farmers for the shortness Of the wheat
crop.
