Timber Injured by Recent Frosts.
Huntsville Sentinel:
We are afraid a great deal of corn
already planted has been too long un-
der ground to do any good, and rcplant-
lug will have to be done. 49,.
Bolivar Bulletin:
Cotton planted two weeks ago is just
coming up. and shows no sign or being
injured. This is a great relief to our
farmers who are early planters.
Ripley News:
The wheat fields between this place
and Covington. we are pleased to OBJ
serve, are looking remarkably fine and
promising, and what is better they are
very numerous.
BeIlville Enterprise:
The farmers have been making good
use of the favorable weather, and are
fully up with their work. Wheat looks
line, and II We have good season our
farmers will raise an abundant crop.
Maryviiie Republican: o
A great deal of the white and black
oak timber in this county was greatly
injured by the recent cold weather.
There will be a few apples in this coun-
ty, and perhaps very few peaches,
cherries and plums in some localities.
Vegetables have been retarded in their
growth.
Dover Record:
Our farmers report few apples left
by the frost There is more corn plant
ed in our county at the present time
than there has been since the war on
the Both day of April. The cut worms
are playing sad havoc in field and gar
den, the continued cold weather being
favorable for them.
Brownsville Bee:
Farming operations in Haywood
county are we'll advanced for the sea-
son. Most farmers are done planting
both corn and cotton. The cotton sea-
son is pretty well over, and the crop
of1S74, in Haywood county, will about
come up to our estimate last Septem-
ber-sixty per cent Of the crop of 1873
Brownsville States:
We have been informed by several
gentlemen living near Dancyville, that
the late frost and freeze did very little
if any damage to the wheat in that sec
ton, Tut the damage to the fruit crop
is considerable. They estimate that
from third to half fruit crop will
be made.
Jackson Wing and Tribune,
The corn is almost entirely planted.
Most of the cotton has been put in the
ground. The negroes are working we'll,
and with a good season, bright pros
poets are ahead for old Madison.
Gallatin Tennesseean:
Tobacco plants in this county are
not so generally injured as was at first
reported, and there will be enough of
them to set out all the land that cult
vators had set apart for that crop, un-
less the fly or some other calamity yet
overtake them.
Lawrencehurs Journal
Farmers say that the wheat crop has
been considerably injured by the last
cold weather and frosts. The forward
wheat that had jointed was cut plumb
off.
Alamo Sentinel:
The growing wheat crop was not ma
terially damaged by the recent frosts,
and, if no reverses come, viii be very
bountiful. The early corn looks quite
promising, Notwithstanding the unfa-
vorahle weather. ,Fruit-grower at
Gadsden think they will make at least
half crop, Notwithstanding the heavy
frosts. Strawberries are looking fine.
Manchester Guardian:
We have made diligent inquiry
among the citizens of different sections
of Coffee county, in regard to tho dam
age by the late frost aud cold weather,
and the general opinion is that the
wheat Drop is not injured. except per-
haps slightly in the neighborhood of
Beech Grove, where it was rather
more forward than on the uplands.
The peach crop is entirely destroyed.
There will be some apples if no fur
Their frost comes. Pears, cherries, etc..
are generally killed. The gardens have
not suffered much, very few vegeta bles
being cut of the ground. In only a
few instances was the corn up, but
where it was it was killed.
