Turned into dollars to-day, the yield would
go far toward settling the State debt. In the
Decatur division cotton is reported mser
able, but wheat and corn splendid. In Har-
peth Valley wheat ia satisfactory, acreage
and yield equal to 1875; poor outlook for
other crops; there are good pieces of corn,
but they are exceptional; cold and rains have
almost annihilated cotton, and it has often
been plowed up and corn substituted" -.

"The fruit crop of East Tennessee is much
larger, and promises better yield than that |
grand division Of our State has had for years
past. And good fruit crop for East Ten |
nessee means great deal. For apples and
peaches its soil and climate are peculiarly |
adapted, and source Of immense revenue"
