DouBLE PIPR CREEK IrENs.--D. P. Savior
raised los bushels of Early Rose potatoes
from So square perehes of land. The yield
would have been greater, but from the 26th
Of May to the 2sth Of June, period Of 81
days, there was not sufficient rain to wet the
ground one inch.
Mr.. III. A. Pittinger pulled n tomato which
weighed lbs. and 5 ounces. Two years ago
Mr.. Saylor had one which weighed 81 lbs.
Copious and abundant have been the rains
of late, and all corn fields on which corn
stands sufficiently thick for full crop, will
now certainly make il. But while there are
many fields on which the corn stands well, and
IS heavy, there are equally as many on which
half crop cannot be expected, from the fact
that not half stand is on the ground.
The rain and hail storm which was so ter
rife in the southern part Of Frederick county,
was so modified in this part of the county as
to be most thorough soaking rain with
neither hail, flood, nor storm. Though there
was q considerable rise in our river, it was by
no means food, all the water flowing within
its capacious banks. But the continued heavy
rain all day Wednesday and night have caused
a flood in Double Pipe Creek and Monocaey
river. The corn in the Pipe Creek bottom
stands as much as four feet deep in the water,
fencing is washed away, and from appearances
the unfinished dam Of Mr.. Covers is consid.
erably damaged
