WELLssUR6.-The wheat, oats aud hay
crops in Brooke county, are in prime con-
dition. Prospects were never better. Corn
is all planted and is coming up well, but
backward, owing to cool weather. Potatoes
look well and there is q good appearance
for the apple crop.
WHEELINe.-The crop will be fully up to
that Of last year. The wheat, oats, barley,
hay and potatoes are now first rate and the
yield promises we'll and . heavy return.
The corn is as yet the uncertain crop. The
rains have so interfered with the planting
that il is still very short and some OF IL had
to be planted over, being washed out
However, there is still time for the produc-
ton of good crop. In some localities the
fruit is ruined, while in others il seems to
be doing we'll. Upon the whole, this will
not be first class fruit year.
E.-Wheat-The acreage in
this county is larger than usual, although
!. this isA iaree. .agricultur county. From
all appeafanceS now there Will be very
great Increase in the wheat crop over former
years. 1t never looked better at this season
Of the year before. Oats look we'll, but the
late season has not developed them, bnt I
should think it will be above the average II
the season from now on is favorable. All
the small grain looks remarkably well. The
meadows are said to be the finest ever seen.
The grass 10 exceedingly heavy. Corn Is
very backward, but . good acreage and
stands we'll on the ground. We are look.
ing for very large crops from present in.
dications in all kinds of grain in this
section.
JACKSON CouRr HousE-Wheat acreage Is
unprecedently large, and II the season is
favorable until after harvest the yield will
be immense. Hay will be exceedingly fine.
Oats looks we'll. with probably . smaller
acreage than usual. or corn q large crop
was planted, but owing to the wet weather
il is not looking as well as would like to
report. OF potatoes the usual crop planted,
but il is affected like corn by the wet wea'
ther. Trade will be regulated to great ex-
tent by the crops and their prices.
CLARKsBu uRG.-Wheat promises more than
an average Corn is very late; about the
usual amount planted. Oats promises we'll.
Potatoes look very we'll. Pastures are
about as usual. Meadows think will be
fair average. Apples about about hall
crop. Peaches, cherries, and plums were
nearly all killed by the April and May
frosts. The number Of cattle in the county
is about as usual and prices light. There
is no demand as yet for wool and prices are
not established. Business is dull at this
time. II is expected to be better when the
cattle. sheep and wool begin TO move.
RIrcHIE Co.-All grains indicate an abun.
dant crop, with the exception Of corn, which
cannot yet be forecaste. The acreage OF
wheat in this county is represented as
larger than last year, and oats not generally
cultivated. The good prices OF wheat last
fall induced more general sowing and 1t Is
anticipated that the estimated yield in the
ground will be about IS per cent. in excess
Of former years-especially last year. The
wet season has retarded corn planting, and
in many instances II has been replanted,
the germ rotting IN the ground. The farm.
ers say that If they get their corn planted
during this month and late fall following.
the yield will be large. Fruits were not
materially damaged by the May frosts, and
the yield will be fully up to the average,
except as to early apples, which were gener-
ally killed in the bud.
