Tennessee CROP Notes.

The crop Of wheat in Mar
shall county is large and the
yield is good. The corn is
needing rain badly.
The wheat has yielded boun-
tifulIy in Washington county,
but corn and oats have suffered
very much for rain.
The farmers Of Obion report
the best wheat crop harvested
in that county for twenty years.
Corn is looking fine.
The crops in Henderson are
looking well in some portions Of
the county, but the want of
rain is sadly felt. The prospects
for a good cotton crop are bet
ter, than for a good yield of
corn.
There was a fine rain in Stew
art a few days ago, but the to-
baccO planters Of that county
say that with the most favora-
able kind of weatherfromnow on,
but sorry crop of tobacco
will be raised.
The HartSUWe Sentinel states
that the tobacco plants set out
in Trousdale county after the
rain Of two weeks ago, have
all been burnt up, and a fifth or
even tenth Of crop seems to be
unattaina5le now.
Lauderdale county was visi-
ted with fine rains some ten
days ago, which, according to
the Ripley NeaoS, have materi-
ally enhanced the prospect for
good corn and cotton crops.
The La5orenceburg Journal re-
ports that eighteen bushels per
acre will be about the average
yield Of wheatin Lawrence coun-
ty. Corn looks well since the
late rains. 1t has a good color
and is growing rapidly.
The BoIiUdr Bulletin reports
that the late rains have improv-
ed the crop prospects in Hard
eman county. Corn and cotton
are small, but the color is good,
and with a little seasonable
weather fair crops will be real
lied.
A correspondent of the Chat
t0ROogG Commercial reports that
the wheat crop Of Rhea county
is turning out better than most
farmers thought at harvest,
Theoat cropis very short andhay
will turn out light. Corn is
small, but the color is good.
There was large breadth plan
ted.
The Memphis Ledger says
that crop reports from all parts
of Shelby county are highly
encouraging. A greater area of
corn has been planted than usu-
al, and the crop looks dark,
strong and promising. The
oat crop is unusually rank and
heavy. What little wheat was
sowed has turned out well.
Cotton looks well as usual, and
is generally well worked and
clean.
The Humboldt Jo1undJreports
that crops in that portion of
Gibson county are looking We
ry we'll, considering the drought
through which they have passed.
Cotton and corn both look well,
and farmers are hopeful Of a
fine yield this fall. Wheat is
very good, and the yield will
be in some localities better than
for several years past, but in 9th
er localities the wheat crop is
short.
The Lynchbwg Sentinel re-
ports that the farmers of Moore
county are needing rain badly.
In some localities the corn looks
well, but in others it shows the
effect of drought. Oats are so
short that many farmers are
moving their crops. Grasses
of all kinds have suffered great
ly from the drought. Wheat
is about all cut, and the yield
will be good. The peach crop
bids fair to be an average one,
while apples are dropping off
the trees.
The wheat crop in Montgom-
cry is pronounced the best that
has been harvested in that coun-
Nv for several years. The
CTaykseiUe Chronicle under
stands that the millers of that
town are offering 81 for wheat.
The Chronicle says; FHhe
drouth continues with 'unaba-
ted fury EVERYTHING in the
wav of vegetation is parched
and dying. Crops of all kinds,
except wheat, are suffering
