THE Crop PROSPECT The prospect for a
tobacco crop 10 this county is very poor, indeed.
The cool weather of the past month has been
favorable to the fly, which has been more de-
structive than for many years. Some of our
farmers despair Of planting at all. The failure
Of this imp 'rtant crop from drought last year
was seriously ielt 10 our county; and another
such loss will be very deplorable.
The wheat crop will be an average one if
none of its enemies attack it; and We may hope
for good corn crop, althoug h the planting has
been postponed 90 account OF the weather sew.
