Virginia Weather-CrOp Bulletin.

BASED ON REPORTS FROM VOLUNTARY COR
RESPONDENTS THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
Obse rver Gardiner, of the United States
Signal Service at Lynchburg, has furnished
us with the following Virginia weather
crop bulletin for the week ending June 10,
1890 -
The weather conditions have been very
favorable for all growing crops. The
temperature has been above the normal,
with an average amount of sunshine, and
has been very favorable for the maturing
of wheat and the growth Of corn. The
rainfall was a general average for the
week.
The hot days Of the past week, succeed
ing the good showers, caused corn to i'm
prove very much. This crop is backward,
owing to the late planting, but is looking
promising. In some few localities the
harvesting has begun, but this work is not
general yet; in other sections this grain is
maturing nicely. The oat-orop is gen.
orally not very promising.
Hay and grasses promise to yield fairly
well. Fruits ele reported satisfactory, but
the rose bug has made it's appearance
among the grapes and peaches around
Staunton.
REMARKS RY SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS.
Staunton CIV. L. AsyIum)-Wheat is
about ready to be harvested; crop fine.-
Corn is small, but the stand is good. Oats
are poor. Hay is not promising. The
rose bug is destroying peaches and grapes.
The acreage Of wheat will be Is per cent.
less than last year; corn, 10 per cent; oats,
so per cent. The acreage of grasses is
about the average, but of an inferior
quality. Rainfall, 0.54 inch.
Dale Enterprise-Wheat is maturing
nicely; much of it has been entangled by
high winds. Barley is good and is being
harry ested. Corn is growing finely, but is
very late. Oats and clover are not very
promising; the latter is being cut. All
kinds of fruits are maturing satisfactorily.
Rainfall, 0.70 inch.

result will be, that he will return to

The Naval Academy bindings.

The Navy Department has adver-
tised on several occasions for pro-
posals to build q certain class OF
houses on the reserve In the Naval
Academy, but owing to the plans
aud specifications, have not been
able to get bids that would justify
the bidders to build such class of
houses IS desired, and hence the
bids have to be rejected. Why not
the government put into repair the
beautiful and costly hospital build
ing, which is fast going to decay,
and turn it into account for the
Academy? For what it would cost
to build one house of the kind the
plans aud specifications call for,
this building could be converted
into accommodations for two or
three such houses. 1t would make
delightful apartments for officers
and their families, and is within
few minutes walk of the Academy.
The late addition of the Naval
Academy has brought this property
into close proximity of the Acade.
my grounds, by the new bridge
which spans the College creek.
This building was erected some
years ago at cost of over $150.000
to the government, and after few
years occupancy, through the mis-
representation of certain persons,
WAS abandoned as unhealthy, and
has since been an abode for owls
and bats. Since the erection of
this building the government has
bailt sea walls all around this prop
erty; have cut put and filled up low
places, and done much undcrdrain-
ing, and has made this one of the
most desirable properties in the
State. 1t is "penny-wise and
pound foolish" policy for the gov
eminent to expend thousands OF
dollars in the erection of costly
buildings while this magnificent
and costly structure is allowed to
crumble and decay within stones
throw of its grounds. No prettier
a site for officers quarters could be
found, and We have no doubt none
more desirable. 1t is high and has
a commanding view of the pictur-
esque Severn and the Chesapeake
bay, with ample grounds and walks
all around it. Workmen could be
found right here in Annapolis that
would put this building and
grounds in palatial order for one
half the amount that one of the
buildings advertised to be erected
in the Academy grounds could be
done for, and at the same time af
ford accommodations equal to three
or four such buildings. We there
fore, hope that the Board of Visi-
tors to the Naval Academy, soon to
be here, will inspect this building
aud grounds and make some recon-
mendation in their report for its
converting into officers quarters BY
the government.
