LATER CROP REPORTS.

PULASKI, IND, March 25.-The fruit
and grain prospects for this County sur
pass those of any former year. An i'm
mense amount of wheat was sown, and at
this date looks well in spite of the rough
usage it has bad from the weather.
Farmers anticipate an abundant harvest
of fruit as the trees look well. Corn
is worth 80 cents per bushel.
S.B. Low, P. M.
TAppAN, O., March 1.-THE prospects
for grain and fruit never were better
than at present.
LEVI ARBouGH, P. M.
TERRE HAUTE, O., March 25.-The
wheat in the ground looks well at this
time, and promises good crop next har-
vest, and there is a good prospect for
fruit. Prices for all goods are good at
this time. WIN. DERNETTE.
HANNIBAL, MONROE COUNTY, O.,
March 25.-Our wheat looks unusually
well-better than l ever saw it at this
time of year. We have an unusual
acreage in wheat. So far we have
fair prospect for full crop of apples
and other fruit, but we are looking for
an extra crop of apples. 7. G. ALLEN.
BOND HILL, O., March 25.-Peaches
were somewhat injured by the recent
cold "snap." Prospects are good for an
abundant crop of all other kinds of fruit.
E. M. Robson.
CLARKsvILLE, O., March 25.-Wheat
in this section of the country looks fine.
The number of acres sown over last year
is about twenty-five per cent. The fruit
of all kind is safe so far and the folks
are healthy and all right. Folks hiving
bees should attend to feeding them now
with sugar sirup, four pounds to one
quart of water, and to be fed inside of
the hive. CHARLES A. WYsONG.
"BIG MoGUL," CHIcKAsAw Ma
T1oN, INDIAN TERRITORY, March 90
There has been fearful drouth here ex-
tending over period of seventeen
months, which terminated about ten
days ago in copious rain, and has con.
tinued ever since. At intervals last
night the thermometer dropped below
zero, killing early vegetables, &c. Ow-
ing to the continued drouth and late
spring the peach and apple crops are safe
not having bloomed yet
The prospect for wheat is not encour-
aging, from the fact that the dry season
has retarded the growth.
Generally speaking there never was
brighter prospect Tor good crop of cot
ton and corn, though the unprecedented
cold snap has brought farm work to
standstill, and fears are entertained for
the safety of that which has been
planted. PETER B. ARTHUR.
BooNE's PATH, Va, March o.
Wheat is looking we'll and larger area
sown in this county than last year, and
since the warm and wet weather has
come out beyond expectation, the fruit
crop is promising. Peaches now In full
bloom, but most too early for this Sec
tion, likely to get nipped.
CHAs E. BAYLOR.
MooRFIELD, w. VA, March M.-The
Wheat crop is very promising; l don't
think ever in better condition this sea-
son Of the year. As to the fruit it is too
soon to say. The peaches are all right
yet, and Of course the apples and other
fruits are all alive.
S. A. NJ. MEcHEN.
REN1cK's VALLEY, Nd, March 49,
Wheat very promising. Peaches partly
killed, perhaps one-half. Apples said tt
be all right yet. Owing to wet weather
farmers are backward with their oat'
crop. ). I'll. CARAWAY, L. M.
KANSAS CENTER, KAN, March a.
Last years crops were poor. Whea
was very light, about five bushels pei
acre; corn about twenty-five bushels PEI
acre. Wheat is worth from,6ghty cent
to one dollar per bushel; corn twenty
cents. The prospect for wheat is goot
now. There is no fruit in this county
TIE trees are not old enough to bear
Strawberries and small fruits do wei
here. We have have had plenty of rair
here as long as l have lived here, til
last year a severe hail storm damage'
the crops of small grain as much as tn
dry weather. lille COLE.
MooREFIELD JUNCTION, HAMPSHIRE
COUNTY, w. Va, March 24.-The whea
and rye in this section appear remark
ably well, considering the dry fall. TIL
warm winter rains have made great i'm
provement. The grain on the river bot
l toms is not so good, though the pro
poets at present are encouraging. Ou
} fruit prospects are good, if we have
} favorable spring. Grass is beginning t
r look as if hay might be plenty next fal
