LOGAN COUNTY, March 15.-The
wheat is in excellent condition. Never
promised better this season of the veal
In this region. The fruit is in a good
state of preservation. There is good
prospect for an abundant crop of apples
peaches, pears, plums, cherries, &c. But
"there's many slip between the cur
and lip" BOB.
WAPAKoNETA, March 15.-Our farm.
ers assert that the prospect for good
wheat crop the coming season is better
and more promising at present than ii
has been for many years. The acreage
is much larger than last year, and an
average crop will carry Auglaize County
among the foremost wheat-growing coun.
ties in the State. The fruit trees are un.
hurt 50 far. Yours truly, PROSPECT.
HARTwELL, March 15.-The wheat
crop looks very fine in this section
Fruit is safe to date. R. STEVENSON.
3 MoNTRA, March 15.-The prospect
for wheat here in Shelby County was
never better. Some spots in low land
died out in the fall. Fruit of all kinds
seems to be safe yet. We have had a
very mild winter; very little snow. The
thermometer has not been below zero
this winter here, II. P. AILEs.
Kentucky.
HARRopsBURG, March 15.-We made
some inquiry, and learn that the pros.
pect for an abundant yield of fruit was
never better, and the grain was never in
better condition, and promises well.
JOHN B. WOODS.
MAYFIELD, March 15.-The fruit cror
In this section will be light. The wheat
will be very good, if no bad luck, al
though we have had no freezes yet. Oats
and other small grain look we'll.
J. E. WRIGHT.
BRooKvILLE, BRAoKN COUNTY, March
10.-At the present time the pros
pect for the wheat crop is very fine. The
prospect generally, as far as / know, is
also very good for small fruit, and. also
the peach crop bids fair for good cror
(if we do not have freezing weather
t0kill itO; the buds are very much ad.
vanced from the past warm weather and
would have been in full bloom in six OF
eight days if it had continued. The
farmers are very busy delivering tobacco
now, with fair prices for same.
J. A. LEE, P. NJ.
NICHoLsvILLE, March Is. - Pros.
poets for small grain are not very good;
corn, ETC., will yield largely; fruit trees
are in bloom; should no very cold
weather come there will be an unusually
large fruit crop in this section.
GEORGE SMITH.
BUTLER, March 15.-Wheat and othe,
grains are doing we'll. All around oul
neighborhood it is up from two to foul
inches high. The prospects for fruit arc
fine, unless the present weather has
killed 1t. ALLIE Y.
CYNTHIANA, March 15.-The wheat
in this section is not very promising.
The early wheat is greatly damaged by
the fly, while the late sown is not dam
aged as yet; but the crop will not be as
large as that of last year. The rye crop
is not very promising in this section Of
the country, owing to the bad season.
The, fruit crop is very promising. As yet
the peaches are not damaged, and, barring
the late frosts, the crop will be unusually
large. The crop Of cherries, apples,
damsons, plums, and all kinds of fruits,
will be plentiful if not killed by the late
fosts J.P. BARKER.
MORNING VIEW, March 15.-Our pros.
poets for crops are fine All of our farm.
ers contemplate raising tobacco. Small
grain looks splendidly. Fruit as yet is
not killed, but injured by the last cold
spell. r. H. sIMPcoE.
WINCHESTER, March 15.-The wheat
crop in this section of the country is con-
sidered very favorable at present. Ap.
pies also have a good chance; but the
peach crop is considered badly damaged
with the late cold snap. Numbers of
farmers in this county are preparing
large tracts of their grass land for hemp,
which they now consider good thing at
present prices. Yours,
CHAs. F. ATTERsALL.
NoLIN, HARDIN COUNTY, March 15.
Crops of wheat partly damaged bv the
fly. Some fields will be almost failure
other fields look very we'll. We think
we will have an average crop, notwith-
standing the damage done by the fly, as
there seems to be an increase in acreage.
No rye or barley in this section. Peach
trees are almost in full bloom; we fear
they are too far advanced for the season.
Apples and other fruit are all right. Old
wheat all sold. Stock hogs scarce and
higher. The weather is very wet. No
'ats sown yet. Farming very backward.
J. ALLEN.
BosToN, March Is. - Wheat looks
promising. Apples good. Peaches re-
ported good on ridges. Farmers prepar-
ing to raise large crops of tobacco. Busi-
ness brisk. Wages fair. I. M. K.

IS excellent this year and a large
