Crops and crop-prospects engage more Of
attention now of both farmers and buyers
than any of the staple products of our section
of the State for the remnants not disposed of.
For several weeks. we have been devoting
much space to the weather as 1t affects crops,
and the condition of the latter. summary
of large portion OF Virginia and taxing in
Western States will be found again in the
SPECTATOR to-day.
Our grain harvest is nearly over, and the
mower is very busy in the fields. which
have improved of late. Corn is generally of
good color in this section and promises a fair
crop.
Producers of wheat are realizing the low
estimates made of yields as the crop came out
of winter quarters in April. Many of them,
with whom we have conversed, do not put the
average in Augusta above half crop. We
have thought it would be over that. large
producer in the South River district, who
takes pride In his farming operations and
especially in wheat culture, and averaged SIX
teen bushels to the acre last year, is satisfied
his yield this year will not be over eight
bushels to the acre. He believes that will be
the average In his district.
At present there is scarcely any wheat offer
ing. For what there is of old to trade on,
there Is no change In prices.
