the corn crop. Cattle In good condition
but not SO plenty. Sheep not so plenty
but increasing fast. The farmers spirits
are reviving. B. L. BARRETT.

is growing splendidly and "a good
crop is expected. The fruit was budding
but slight snow fell Friday night and
all the fruit is hurt somewhat, and
peaches are entirely frozen.

| GREENsBURa, March 15. = Wheat
never looked better at this time
of year. In some low ground the wheat
drowned out, but not very badly. Fruit
has not far enough advanced to tell
much abont. Yours, &C., W.
VERNON, JENNINGS COUNTY,
March 15.-The prospect for wheat
crop in this County has not been as
good for ten years. The acreage sown
is large. The prospect for bountiful
crop of all kinds of fruit is very good
up to this time. The farmers are prepar-
ing to put in large crop of oats and
corn. They are exhibiting more energy
and skill than usual, while the temper
ance cause goes bravely on. W. J.s.
UNION CITY, March 15.-The pros
poets for wheat crop in this county
never was as favorable at this time of the
year. 1t looks as wheat usually does on
the first of May. The prospect for fruit
is good for everything unless peaches
have been killed in the last two days by
the frost. FRANK MURPHY.
HURON, LAWRENCE COUNTY, March
15.-Of wheat there was larger amount
put in last fall than usual and it stood
the winter well. The crop at this time
looks exceedingly we'll. There is a prep
aration to put in corn and oats all the
available land. The peach crop was
never better so far, but is not out of
danger. Apples, cherries and all kinds
Of fruit is flattering. lsoM BURTON.
| RUsHvILLE, March 15.-GENTs: In
reply to your request l will say that the
prospect for wheat was never better in
this county and there is more sown now
than at any previous year. The meadows
will yield an abundant crop unless a
backward spring prevails. As to the
fruit crop we have every reason to ex-
pect good yield.
i CHAs. T. KENNEDY.
AURORA, March 15.-All the grain,
fruit, etc., in this part of the country is
doing we'll. 1t is thought thatn no serious
damage has been done by the cold.
GEORGE HART.
MAHoMET, March 15.-The acreage of
winter wheat, as compared with last year,
is at least double. The prospect for yield
is not so good as last year, but it is at
least ten per cent. above general aver
age. Unless injured hereafter, there will
be abundance Of fruit Of all kinds.
J. G. WARE.
EDINBURa, CHRISTIAN County,
March 15.-There are more acres of
wheat growing in and around this
county than ever before to my knowl-
edge, and the most of it looks we'll at
present. There is prospect of the largest
crop of wheat for many years, and as for
fruit, it bids fair for good crop of
peaches, and as for apples and other
small fruits, you can't say yet what they
will be. W. Fl. BRADLEY.
Arkansas.
WARREN, CRITTENDEN County,
March 13.-We have no wheat sown in
this county, very little oats, none but
what will be consumed; all getting ready
to plant corn and cotton as that is the
crop in this county. Most all the cotton
crop of last year shipped; raining to-
day; roads in this county very muddy;
the Mississippi River overfows the
low lands In this county and the water
is up; boat went to, Marion; we are 10
miles now from Memphis, Tennessee
we have the boat at 8 O'clock in the
morning and 3 o'clock in the evening
each day during the high water. Fair
prospect for fruit. POSTMASTER.
DICKSON P. O., March 12-The pros
pect for fruit is good as yet. Peaches
are in bloom in many places, and last
nights storm and snow may affect them.
Wheat looks fair and promises to be a
good crop. Farmers are in very good
shape. The long period of fine Weather
this winter placed them forward with
their plowing. Nearly all our farmers
are preparing for planting largely in to-
bacco, and if the season is favorable we
shall have plenty of tobacco. Oats are
mostly sown. There is an average acre
age sowed of small grains.
Yours truly, R. M. VosGRAvE.
Michigan.
QUINCY, March 15.-Fruits are unin-
jured so far by cold weather.
! Wheat was never SO promising as last
fall. The open winter has injured it in
some localities, but the prospects yet are
good for crop above the average.

GRAND LODGE, EATON COUNTY,
March 15.-In reply to your request, as
far as can answer at present: Wheat
