In Jefferson county the weather
has been very fine during the past
month. The prospects for wheat and
clover have been much improved.
Corn looks remarkably we'll. The
prospects are good.
The weather has been seasonable
in Van Buren, county. Corn is look
ing well, and an extensive area of it
has been planted. Late wheat is
looking better than early sowing, and
there will be an average crop. Fruits
in the valleys haze been killed, but
are all light on the mountain.
The weather III James county has
been dry and cool. Crops, however,
are doing tolerably well.
In Upton county the wheat crop
will be about an average. Some rust
is on the leaf, but, on account of dry
weather, has done very little damage.
Good stands of corn and cotton have
been obtained. The cutworm has
damaged the cotton seriously in
some neighborhoods, necessitating re-
planting.
a fair average wheat crop Will be
made in Gibson county. Crops are
coming up slowly. Hardly half a
crop ofstrawberries was made. Black
berries and raspberries promise a
large yield. Cutworms have been
seriously damaging garden products
The weather in Dickson county has
been rather dry, but seasonable. The
wheat prospects are not very good.
1t is too thin. Some crops are not
worth cutting. Where it is thick
enough it is very promising The
heads are long and large. A large
acreage of corn has been planted, and
is being well cultivated. Hog pros
poets are very promising. Cattle are
doing well.
In Meigs county wheat prospects
are good, though there is not as good
a stand in some felds as might be de-
sired. Farmers are working with re.
newed energy. There has been a
good demand for work stock.
The weather in Moore county has
been favorable. The wheat stand
has been thin and some little rust is
reported. Since the rains, however,
the wheat has improved and the pros
poets are much better.
An average crop of wheat will be
made in Obion county.
Wheat in Henry county has been
damaged on account of unreasonable
weather, but has been very much
improved by the recent rains. Corn

short. Red rust is making its ap-
pearance. Corn is looking well. The

dry for oats.
johnson county's wheat prospect is
tolerably good.
The weather was cool and dry in
McAlinn county until the 10Th inst,
since which time rains have had a re-

large. A large crop of corn was
planted, but there is a POOR stand.

present.
Not elough rain has fallen in Har-
deman county recently to materially
benefit the crops. Wheat looks well.
