' Correspondence OF the Richmond Dlspatch.l
II q = TREvnTAN's, LOUISA COUNTY, VA..l
''.; 'fe.T' - q. .',L' July %, 1874. "
10 We,are having an excellent spell on corn
and tobacco. A good rain fell a week ago;'
and the last, Two. Or, three days have been
cloudy, with slight rain, and the. face Of the
earth seems to smile under its Influence. :
=. The tobacco planted is doing well, though,
as perhaps I have before stated, there was
not more than bali q crop planted, owing to
scarcity of plants. Corn, as general thing.
has Been well worked, and promises a good
crop. na.,. l.., ,a..t.,e ri in, .,,-si .as1.yr ~
The wheat crops have turned out variably,
some making half a crop, some two.ttirds,
and but very few that / have heard of full
crop. Oats turned out in about the same
way. -. ..r,..,.l "a, j. tj-t 10 - -.
It is matter of astonishment to the farm
ers that the wheat market opens so low. i
hear many speak OF holding their wheat for
a better price. Those who sold their tobacco
last winter and spring complain Of the; sacri.
fee, and to let their wheat go in the same
way will, they, think, be too bad. - z
A meeting of gfsBgeFs Will be held in 9
few days In the neighborhood of Ellisyil!e.
a barbecue, speeches, and q general jollidca.
ton is expected. The CHANGERS have made
many good bargains, believe, in the way OF
purchases, but don't know that they have
beenabIe as yet TO selB higher than other peo-
pie. Perhaps they will make arrangements
at this meeting to raise the wheat market.
So mote 1t be. ~, ~, .''' FARMER;
