The storm on the night of the 2Sth uIti.
mo has inflicted very great injury upon the
farmers in this section. The larger portion
of the tobacco crop was standing in the
fields, and was very badly broken, bruised,
and covered with dirt by the wind and rain.
Much of the corn is lying fiat on the ground,
what fodder is left is torn TO shreds, and the
fruit trees stripped of more than half their
fruit. So far as the tobacco crop is con.
cerned, however, disasters, when general,
seem to add 20 the price, SO chat we may not
be much the losers after all. Is it not strange
when experience has proved that general
reduction of the crop enhances the price,
that everybody should 60 on raising all the
tobacco he can to the neglect of other crops.
The difficulty Is in the want Of combination
and this is something as well worthy the at.
tention of the Changers US doing away with
