cherries. No peaches worth mention
ing. Fair prospects for small truit such
as straw berries, eurrants, raspberrles,
&c.-LFarmer.
NovA.-The apples are not hurt.
Peaches are about half killed in the
bud. Cherries are not hurt. Small
fruits will b. plenty, il the late frosts
don't hurt them. The farmers are put
ting out large spring crops. Wheat
never looked better than it does this

LoCKBOURNE-Pres indications
are most tiAtterlng for u lull yield of the
wheat crop. Some OF our oldest farmers
say that wheat mas never looked better
at this season Of the year, than it does
now. Peaches may have been somt-
| what injured by the severity oil the win
| ter, but apples, cherries, and pears,
promise well.-[ Carrie A. Hare.
WAPAKoNETA.-The prospect for the
wheat crop is excellent. Ii nothing hap
pens 1t will be the largest ever known in
| this section. Fruits are not advanced
| enough to state exactly their condition,
| but 1T is generally believed that the frost
has not damaged them to any extent,
and the prospect SO far is good A. Il,
| MARIoN.-0ur prospect for wheat is
very good, much better than for many
years past; larger acreage and better
prospects will soon have an ln1iu-
ence Oh prices. Fruit is sale yet; APP
pies will be abunuant; cherries and
small fruits are all right thus far, and
we may expect fair crop of peaches II
no disaster Details them Marion.
There will be q very
| few o the harder varieties of cherries
and plums; fine prospect for pears; a
few apples on early and other nom
frRitful trees of last year. Not peach
nor apricot bIoss ON probably in Clinton
County; peach trees badly winter killed.
Prospect ior wheat, corn, oats and hog
crop never seen better. Farms swarm
with pigs.-LJ JEFF. Hildebrant. "a
sABINA.-The prospect for apples,
pears and some Yarities of cherries, 10
good. Peaches all killed. Plums,
grapes, aud all small fruits badly in
ljured. Wheat LOOKS fine. Farmers are
making arrangements for planting more
corn and POTATOES, than ever before in
this locality. Grass growing fine with
good prospect for rich pastures and an
abundant hay crop.-[C. b. Hill.
SIDNEY.-The prospect for an abun-
1
lsing in this county, and an unusual
amount of 1t soWn. Judging from tue
appearance of the trees we think the
| fruit Is going to be an average crop, WIN
the exception Of peaches. Grapes WlIl
be short owing to the severe cold wlh-
ter having killed many of our vines.
Farmers are busy getting ready to plant
corn, &c.-[Willis B. Taylor.
VALLEY JUNCTION, Hamilton County
The fruit crop in this vicinity SO far
gives promise OF fair average yield,
with the single exception of peaches,
perhaps. OF the latter, L presume IL Is
safe to assume that there is not live
fruit bud in this vicinity; and further, a
| large proportion of the trees are badly
injured, II not entirely killed. Wheat
and winter barley is in excellent condi-
ton, and all Of our farming operations
in a very forward state j. x.
! DAYToN.-I was out in the country a
few days ago, and l do not think that l
nave ever seen better prospects for
small grain in this vicinity. All along
| the railroad lines the railroad men tell
me the same. Apples are good, pears
| and cherries light, peaches none. The
most Of the peach orchards are cut
down, as the trees were Killed by the
|
meets here every month hereafter, and l
will send you report from them.-[C.
| Ritchey.
| LovELAND.-In this vicinity the indi.
cations Of fruit are as follows: Apples,
moderate crop, but enough; pears, large
promise; peaches, none; cherries, sweet
few or none; cherries, sour, moderate
promise; small fruit, generally fair:
grapes, don't know. Wheat, excellent
prospect, and not injured by winter
oats, promising well; grasses, being out
little injured by winter, are showing
well. Soil in good condition for holding
crops, being easily pulverized. Season
ten days late.-[W. Y. Pinkuam.
BATAvIA.-There are fine prospects
for lar crop of fruits, save peaches
which will likely prove total failure
Wheat, rye and barley all look well. AL
unusually large crop OF oats was sown
which bids fair Tor good yield. Re
ports indicate that larger crop of TO
bacco will be put out than ever before
A very large areage oil potatoes l.
being planted, as the big prices Tor then
in the past year have stimulated ou
farmers to more generally cultivat,
them for the MARKET Arthur T. Ban
croft.
SYMMEs' CORNER Prospects for whea
and barley were never better. Ther,
will be some oil nearly all kinds of fruit
OF course, after such crop of apples al
there was last year, the trees are some
! what exhausted. Peaches are a partia
failure. Plenty of cherries, pears ant
plums. The spring has been favorab
for the preparation OF the soil for corn
A brother in Iowa sends the information
that the eggs Of the grasshoppers wer
Matched by an artificial process, show
ing that the whole country may b.
flooded this year.
CHERRY GROVE, Hamilton County,
The peach crop is killed as ia
as l have Travelled through Cler
mont and Brown Counties. Tn
early cherries are nearly all killed
tn at is, the finest varieties. The pros
pect Tor the early Mays is good. Plum,
are sale yet, pears also. The prospec
for apples is fair. Raspberries do no
look as we'll as they ought to, th
winter injured them. Blackberries lool
fair. W heat looks as fine as ever l saw 10
the time oI the year. In Clermont an
Brown Counties the prospect for hay
is not so good for the next year. !
/; great many farmers are plowipg up thei
meadows. The prospect Tor straw
berries is good.-IVan Gundy.
