| F. o. ANDERSON.
Oak Grove, KY, Sept 5--Never il
my recollection have ever seen TIL
crop of corn and tobacco more com
pletely burnt up with drouth than jus
at this time. AS to what we will max,
no one can tell. I'll. q. HERNDoN.
Roaring Spring, Trigg County, KY
Sept. with favorable fall from
this on, tobacco two thirds; withou
rain in few days, half. Corn not hal
crop. The drouth extends over hal
the county. Extremely dry at this
writing. THos. CRENsHAw.
Coopertown, Tenn, Sept. Ain this
immediate locality crops, corn and to
bacco, are better than some in adjacent
neighbCrhoods, we will make an aver
age crop in this vicinity. Rains have
been more favorable here than in
other localities. r. G. GLOVER.
Roaring Springs, KY, Sept. 8, 1885
So fZr as our county is concerned
we cannot possibly realize more than
one-half OF crop of both corn and
tobacco, and notove one-third OF each
ii we don't have rain Immediately.
Now these are facts as see them.
J. w. HAYES, SR.
Lafayette, KY, Aug. Blowing to
the long continued drouth in this sec
ton both the corn and tobacco crop
will be cut short at least twenty-five
per cent. Much green tobacco is being
cut to keep it from burning on the
hill. Corn not ripe, but fodder drying
and falling off. DIG. Tuck.
lakewood, Tenn, Sept. THE crop
of corn will make about two-thirds Of
crop and the tobacco will make
something like two-thirds of a crop,
from lakewood to the river, but for
five miles North of lakewood the aver
will not be over one-third corn or to-
bacco. LEVI COOPER.
Tenth Dist, Montgomery County,
Sept. 1.-The corn crop South OF us is
about an average; North for three or
four miles it is quite short. The to-
bacco crop in acreage is larger than
usual, is greatly in need of rain, not
having had any tor a bout six weeks. II
it should rain soon, it would probably
make an average crop.
Ell. WILLIAMS.
Roaring Springs, KY, Sept. 2.-Ac-
cording to my judgment, there will
not be over one-half crop of corn,
and without it rains in very short
time, 1 don't believe there can be
over one-half crop of tobacco made.
This is my judgment and have seen
the most of the crops in my section.
JOE LEDFoRD.
Adairville, KY, Sept THE acre.
age of corn is large but the yield will
not be more than rs per cent of an
average. Tobacco is a full acreage,
but will not make more than fifty per
cent. of an average yield. 1t is now
too late for rains to be of any advan-
tage to crops. Pastures bare and dry;
stock water very scarce-no rain for
weeks. w. S. GAMBILL.
Allensville, Sept. THE corn crop
in this locality is very good, farmers
are beginning to cut and shock their
corn making ready for wheat. Tobacco
crop is being cut, but good rain
would be a blessing to us, not only to
tobacco but help or cisterns, ponds &c
A good prospect for rain to-day, it be-
ing warm and cloudy. w. S. GILL.
Barren Plains, Robertson County,
Sept. 6.-We have not had good
season since June. Very dry as yet
EARLY tobacco has and will be cut, in
lew days. Very light and badly burnt
up. l would estimate the crop at 40
Or so per cent. Corn will not make
over so per cent. Corn and tobacco
both of very inferior quality.

Allegree, Todd County, KY, Sept. z.
Early planting of tobacco will make
OF a crop. Late planting is
quite small. The whole will make
bout one-half crop. Early planting

at about two thirds. We
ire very dry at present, needing rain
,adly. w. r. BEARDEN.
Dotsonville Tenn, Sept. Ii
The tobacco is ripening very fast
md cutting has commenced. The
obacco is dry weather ripe and field
ired, it will be very light. We will
make about two thirds of crop.
The corn crop like the tobacco, has
,rematurely ripened and will be light.
There won't be over half crop.
heartily endorse the Daily Evening
CHRONICLE and hope the people will
this enterprise. You may
inter me as a subscriber.
BRAD MARTIN.
Pleasant View, Tenn, Sept. 5.-The
,orn crop is not good, owing to bad
cultivation and want of rains. Farm
RS were too busy getting last years
obacco crop off to cultivate their crops
veil. The tobacco crop, as a whole, is
rery sorry; some few farms have had
,Ood rains and the tobacco on them is
'ery good, but they are like angels
