The prospect for tobacco crop for
the current year is not good. The
winter has been so mild that we may
expect an unusual number of insects.
Again the protracted wet weather is
apt TO delay both the plant beds be-
ing burnt In time aud the proper
preparation Of the ground for plant
ing. All Of these things will
come upon tho farmer at once and the
prospect is that the crop viii be put
in late, that tile worms viii be very
bad and that much ofthc crop will be
late enough TO be in danger from
frost before it sripe. so far as we
can learn only small portion Of plant
land has been burned as yet, and con.
sequently the plants will be late and
the result named apt TO follow.
