WEST GREENWOOD, Crawford County,
Pa.-Ihe prospecy tor wheat is unusually
good. 1t is much better on low ground
LDan on high, comparatively. This is on
account of the dry weather throughout
tnls month, up to about the 18Th. This
dry spell also gave the farmers chance
to put in their oats much earlier than
usual. In regard to lruit, nothing has
occurred to mar the prospects OF a full
crop. Apples are our staple in the fruit
line, with peaches on the chestnut rid ges.
Tnis for our yiclnity.-l Postmaster.
CoLLIERvILLE, Shelby County, Tenn.-
The prospect for tull fruit crop in this
section OF country was never better
Wheat is looking remarkably well, and,
with no disaster, Will make a full aver
age yield. But few oats sown, and they
barely average in promise. Corn was
planted in good season, but the ex-
cessive rains OF the last two weeks will
cause bad stand. Ii it receives early
attention, however, tuIl yield may pe
secured. But little cotton planted as
yet. All hands, however, will be putting
in seed this week if the weather is fair.
