The rains are upon us, end much

good deal of hay in the field, and
that has suffered much damage.

advantage of the growing weather,

have not been able to get re-
liable estimate of the average yield
of wheat from the crops that have
been threshed, but from some in
stances that | have obtained there
has been a large falling off. One
field in my knowledge, which con-
tains one hundred acres, yielded
last year more than twenty-five
hundred bushels, while this year
the yield was only something over
twelve hundred. This field rented
for the present crop at 50 80 per
acre. and has been rented for wheat
again at 81 80. The tobacco crop is
still small and doing badly in grow
ing. Much of it is not clean and
lacks proper cultivation. There are
some pieces, however that have
made good growth, and are about
in top. Much of the area planted
is badly missing, and in the bottom
much has been drowned or covered
in mud. Many are still replanting,
but it will be mere accident if it
comes in.
The fruit crop is Indifferent in
this section, the apple crop being al
most a failure. There are good
many peaches, but they are of in
different quality. Blackberries are
in full blast now, and are moderate

The Tariff IN the South.
Memphis Leger

The South is conservative in re-
gard to this question. Theoretically
the people who thought about it at
all and many who did not think or
investigate for themselves, have
been in favor of free trade. But
since the birth and development OF
infant industries, involving con-
siderable investment of capital,
there has been if not a better under
standing of the subject, a consider
able shifting of position. Those
who are engaged in the manufact-
ure of raw products begin to think
that a little protection is not such a
bad thing after all, and being men
of influence i'm their respective To-
calities many Others adopt their
conclusions. We note it as fact
regardless of bias or precieYed views
that there is a considerable change
going on in the South.
