actively planting, corn is knee high; fruit
promises an immense CROP"
Lonoke County Democrat: 1.-TWO or three
frosts the past week; not severe enough,
though, to do any damage. The cold snap
has retarded planting, and has given the
corn already up yellow tinge."

put on exhibition and telegraphed to Lon
don, England"
Little Rock Gazette: "The crops so far are

siderable damage"
Camden (Ouachita county, Beacon: "Sev-
eral of our citizens are now eating new
Irish potatoes and peas, and Captain D.

that the cut-worms have started to cut it
down."

fully cold the first of this week. No dam

county. Our farmers are done planting corn.
Oats wheat and fruit crops are looking WE'LL"
Cherokee Adrocate: "The crop prospects
all over the nation, from what we can learn,
were never better. Chief Bushy head is a
farmer as well az an able executive. He

drouth last year. He will raise several
thousand bushels this year, no providential
hindrance."
Columbus Dispatch: "Crops along the line
of the Mobile and Ohio railroad throughout
the prairie belt are forward and very prom
Using. The stands OF corn and cotton were
as fine as ever seen, and the land is in fair

promising well, and there is large acreage.
The acreage in corn is the largest known in
many years. Labor is effective, though not
superabundant"
Van Buren, Crawford county, Graphic:
reports from all sections of our county in
dictate that our wheat crop has been greatly
injured by the rust within the last few days.
Mr.. Watt Orme, who has ninety acres, thinks

plowed for the first time, and have their
cotton in good growing condition"
Monroe County Sun: "Cut-worms have
made their appearance in some of the fields
of rye, oats, barley, ETC., where the overflow
doing some damage. The fruit crop in Mon

Centerville the fruit crop promises to be
very plentiful if the caterpillars will only let
it alone, but they are making their appear
ance already by the thousands"
Texarkana Netrs:: "Crops were never better
at this season ......... Woodruff county is in
advance of ordinary years......... New Irish
potatoes on table in Saline county. NAL

farm of Captain J. E. Reynolds, across the
Poteau in the Choctaw Nation, the large
fields checked off in corn rows or verdant
with fresh rich wheat, are standing now near
ly five feet in hight and we'll headed out.
Wheat and corn are the principal products
of the Choctaw farms. Cotton is not planted
in such proportions as it is in the States,
though nearly every acre of the land We
traversed is capable of producing bale and
hall. The same land will yield seventy
five bushels Of corn per acre"
