Reports From All important Points
in the State and Eastern Ohio.
Braxton @. III.

BraNton O. III.
Condition Of Crops-rhe acreage in corn
N this county is at least one-third mcre
han the average amount planted, and the
appearance Of the corn is very fine, promis
ing q large yield, unless it should be affect,
ID by drouth. The weather has been sea-
sonsble thus far for corn. The wheat was
badly winter killed, though there are same
fields of fine promise. But little oats is
sowr in this county. Potatoes will probably
be an average crop. Grass is cut short BY
dry weather and probably other causes
There will scarcely be half yield.
Charleston.
Condition of Crops-The crop prospects
are not good. The wheat was to very
great extent killed By the severe winter.
The corn crop here is very much improved
by reason OF long continued dry weather.
The grass crop is short for the same reason.
There is no full crop of anything. Oats,
rye and barley will be very short There
will be a good fruit crop, bat all of the sta
pies will be from one-hslf to two.thirds of
tull crop, and in many instances farmers
have plowed up the wheat crop and planted
corn. Altogether the condition Of crops is
not good in this valley, and there is the
prospect Of very close times here as the re-
suit Of close and poor crops.
CoaIburg,
Condition of Crops-Crops are very fair,
except for wheat The farming lands in
this portion of the Kanswhs Valley are
limited in extent, and the welfare Of the
people does not depend upon the crops.
Most ofthe available land is in potatoes,
corn and small gardens, which are doing
we'll
Huntington.
Condition of Crops-Owing to the severe
winter and sudden changes, almost the en-
tire " heat crop of this section of the State
was winter killed, and most all wheat land
plowed up and planted with corn. What is
left will scarcely produce amount seed
sown. Grass is short, and the outlook for
hay crop is slim. There is an increased
acreage of corn over last or the preceding
year, and while this crop is very backward,
indications are that we will have about an
average crop. Oats are only fair crop.
jackson @. II.
Condition of Crops.-Wheat was badly
frozen out, and it is doubtful if the seed
sown will be harvested. Grass was affected
also By the severe winter, which, added to
the drouth of q few weeks ago, will make
the hay crop about half as large as that OF
las, wear. Oats seem to be dong we'll. A
large acreage Of corn was planted, and the
outlook for good crop is encouraging. A
good.sized tobacco crop is being put ou'.
No peaches, but apples are promising al
immense yield.
New Martinsville.
Condition Of Crops.-Wheat is about one
9Th of crop; corn, potatoes, oats ond fruit
are all about an average, or, perhaps, Ut
tie better than an average crop. Ihere Is q
larger acreage of corn than for many years,
owing TO the number Of acres OF wheat that
had 10 be ploughed up. Potato bugs are
troublesome, but will not destroy much OF
the crop. Grass and clover are tuli crop,
All this may receive oacSset. al VIII
depend on the weather.
Moundsyille.
Condition of Crops-Whest is in bad con-
d;,ion In one county there will not be
more than one fifth of the usual crop. Corn,
oats &c. If the season is favorable to the
end will give q much greater yield than
over before, rs q much greater acreage was
pIspted. As usual, many OF the wheat
fields are being ploWed up and planted IN
c,rn or oats, and the latter at present give
a cheering appearance, and large yield Is
anticipated.

of corn is by far greater than any previous

| ParkersburE.
Condition of crops-In this vicinity crops
are not generally good. The wheat crop
Ill NOT be more than 10 per cent. OF an
Svera0e crop. A large corn crop has been
planted, and If the season remAss iH H"or
sble the crop will be large, as there has oeen
33l Der cent. more acreage IN corn tnso
for many years. Oats and potatoes are 90
