THE DAILY STAR
LATER CROP REPORTS.

FAYETTEVILLE, o., March 1.-THE
prospect for an abundant wheat crop
never was better. At this writing all the
growing wheat looks fine, with the excep-
tion of an occasional patch here and
there, which was injured by the long
continued drought last fall. Fully fifty
per cent. more acreage in this portion of
the county (Brown) was sown this year
than last. The fruit is supposed to be
considerably injured by the open winter
and the recent severe frosts. S. ]. F.
BUTLER, KY, March 17.-Farmers
report wheat looking better than usual
at this season, with more sown than last
year. Some crops of early sown are not
as thick ON the ground as desirable,
owing to the drought in September.
Fruit is reported safe as yet. A very
large crop of tobacco will be raised, if
~resent plans do not miscarry.
7. M. BARTON.
LEXINGTON, KY, March 17.--Wheat
is looking very well, and bids fair to be
rather more than an average yield. A
great deal of oats is being sown. More
hemp will be sown than has been sown
since the days of slavery. Sod is being
broken that has not been disturbed for
twenty years, and active preparations are
being made for large crop. Peaches
have not been much injured by the frost
and fine crop is expected. All other
fruits are also free as yet from injury.
URBANA, O., March 1.-THE wheat
crop in Champagne County is in fine
condition at this season of the year.
The fruit is still uncertain.
HAMILTON, O., March 1.-THE fruit
and grain prospects of this section are
fattering. Wheat is getting along nicely,
perhaps better than barley, with fair
prospects of good crop. The acreage is
much larger than last year. Neither
grain nor fruit have as yet been hurt
by frost or cold weather. WooD.
