THE CROPS.
The peach orchards never looked BET
|, than at the present time and the
v,pects are fer an immense crop of
bjs delicious fruit. The trees are la.
eu down and but little falling off has
sn noticed, SO that the yield this year
lVmises to be as large if rot larger
ban 1875, when the market was glut-
n from one end Of the country to the
tber, in the reach Of transportation.
hs only difficulty that is now feared
the appearance OF 3 peach louse
rhich it is said destroys the fruit as
rsll as the leaves of the tree, but it
bill be almost impossible for them TO
piue the crop to an alarming extent,
|WOrdiug to the opinion Of those who
lnOw.
The prospect for large crop of ap-
lss, pears, berries of all kinds. ETC., is
ysry promising and the opinion of
hsny is that there will be loads and
os1s Of fruit.
The army worm has made it's appear
laein this vicinity in alarming num-
1snd are making serious inroads on

hgain, having become headed, be-
Mihey made their appearance, is too
lad for them to do it serious injury,
(hOugh they have stripped the stalk

peshort. In order to prevent this ter.
Ebls pest from entering the wheat
fads, many farmers have dug trenches

An amusing incident happened the
sler day in this vicinity, in this way.
farmer in order to get rid of the
Forms, dug a deep trench around his
l'ld OF wheat and thought he was safe,
ei upon going out to cast q glance
tf the field for fear they had got in,
was surprised to find that quite a
lumber had managed to get over.
he was at a loss to account for it, and
oluenced to look around him, when
sc!acOvtred q large mulberry tree on
ls outside of the trench, the limbs of

AaSe as it may seem, the notorious
