TENNESSEE CROP NOTES.

The crop prospect in Fayette county is
very promising.
The rust is reported to have appeared on
the cats in Bradley county.
The corn in Humphreys county IS report
ed small and needing rain badly.
The wheat crop in Van Buren, county IS
reported to be better than was ever before
known.
There have been fine rains in portions OF
HAYWOOD county lately, and the growing
crops look unusually promising.
The wheat in Franklin county has been
cut. and the Winchester Home journal says
il has proven tile most abundant crop
raised in that county for many years
The KfnqstOn East TeIReSSeedR reports
that the farmers of ROane county have TN
isbed cutting their wheat, and all agree the
Weld is ..bettcr than expected.
The wheat in Lincoln county has been
harvested, aud the Fayetteville Obserrer
states that the farmers arc well satisfied
with the yield, as surprising their most
s.nguine expectations. The corn III that
county is suffering for ram.
sThe largest yield Of wheat for twenty
years is the way our farmers OF Robertson
county talk, but the Springfield Record re-
ports that rain is badly needed for other
crops. The blackberry crop viii be very
short, owing To the drought.
A correspondent Of the Nc NiRardie Nelr
Era writes that the wheat in the Nervilla
neighborhOod of Warren county is better
than for five years past. The corn is very
fine. Oats are very sorry. Irish potatoes
are doing no good. The mountain has
about one-fou-th of a crop of apples, peaches
and plums.
Tie wheat in Hamilton county has been
harvested, and the NOTjsf0,r7s Gdzette re-
ports the Weld very large, even better than
was anticipated. The Gazette says: ''NOt'
withstandiny the DnfavOrable nature of the
corn planting season, and the subsequent
drOuth, the indications are now favorable
for a much better crop in this section than
expected. Recent rains have greatly
brought it out, and the promise IS very en-
eouraing for a liberal yield. We have not
met a farmer in a week, who does not say
his corn is doing much better than he
expected il would
The cotton in Rutherford county still
looks promising, though in some sections
the dry weather is beginning 10 injure u.
The HuTfreeSbOrO Neirs states that in
some portions OF the county they have not
had any rain for eight weeks, dwariins the
corn to such an extent that il is very
doubtful whether with the best Of season
able rains in future, it would make half a
crop. Garden vegetables have been very
near killed out by the continued drought.
Reports about the yield Of the wheat in
Greene county, grow better and better every
day.
The question Of prices is intimately con
nected with crop prospects. The Win
chester Home Journal thinks wheat will
open in that market at 81, and that the
price is likely to decline. The Athens
Post says: 'sNO price has yet been agreed
upon for the new crop. Our farmers want
SIPS per bushel, while report says there is
a combination among the millers south of
us not to give more than ST." The Ciere-
land Bonner says: "a lot Of four hundred
bushels of wheat was sold in this market,
to be delivered on or before the 4th day OF
July, for S1.2j per bushel. Wheat men
think that this will be the ruling price for
July delivery, bus that after that the price
will fall 10 81 per btIShel. Our opinion is
that the first market this season will be the
best
