IrEsElrRa July S.--Our farmers have done
,,,.;r harvesting, and in Broad Run. Lcesburg,
n. ,,r and Mount Gilcad townships tho judg
ucot is that it is the best crop Of wheat since
H., war. This is partially so Of Lovettsvile
,,wu<hip, but Jefferson township, which lies
between Mercer and Lovcttsvillc has a partial
e,iInrc, on account Of the fly having injured the
straw. The quality everywhere is good to primo.
the crop is said to be especially fine in Broad
Run township, in Which the lands are valued
,,op an average at Sl3 per acre as against s45
my acre in all the townships above tho Catoc
rim Mountain
There has been al abundance of cherries,
strawberries, and tho dewbcrrics and black
hrrrics and raspbcrries arc iu full supply.
AnplcS may be counted as fair crop, while
ranches arc decided failure, except on the
i,,,octn Mountain, and at the base and on the
sides of the Blue Ridge.
The hay crop is late, but promises to be tho
finest since the war, and so much may be said
II the cat crop. Rye in Loudoun is mere
circumstance.
The early gardens have not been abundantly
productive, but the promise for roasting ears,
tomatoes late cabbage and potatoes is very
tlatcriug
Turnips arc thing of the future, as it is a
rnlc in our parts to SOW the seed on the '25th
of July wet or dry" and to repeat the sowing
on the lO;h of August, and on the 10th OF Sep
tcmbcr on very fine lands. The last sowing is
tnr small tender bulbs for table use,
