MarksvilIc Review: No catcrpillars
in Avoycllcs, as far as we have heard,
although the weather has favored their
production.
n. o. States: The yield of rico this
year exceeds greatly that Of any prcce-
ding year in the history Of that culture
in this State. The quality, too is greatly
superior in weight, exceeding that Of the
previous products by at least thirty per
cent. There will be p handsome profit
to all tho planters this season, for much
less labor and expenditures than from
sugar or cotton. Still, these staples were
never so promising and urplanters were
never in higher spirits or in better cir
cumstanccs. There are hardly any
imaginable casualties which can prevent
the gathering of the largest crop in the
history Of our States agriculture.
