Mr. John O. Cosby, Of Louisa county. says:
"The crop in our county is a short and lug
gy che"
Dr. John d. Butler, Of Caroline county,
writes under date Of October 20, 1892: "As
regards the extent of the injury to the
tobacco crop 10y hail and frost, / shall not
be able 10 say definitely. but judging frcm
NY observation I'm the vicinity of Sparta.
which is the greatest sun-cured region OF
Caroline. that perhaps onc-eighth OF the
crop has been frosted, and in quite a large
section Of this region whole crops were en-
tlrcly destroyed by hail. ON my farm six
acres were entirely destroyed and many
ether farms were Injured TO the same ex-
tent Fortunately this storm was not gen
eraL The crops around my place which
were very fine, were kept back By drought
but when the rains came they improved
wonderfully. from which cause the cutting
was delayed and the crops were caught by
tAo haii. i think. as far as have observed
the crop in Caroline is a fair one In bulk,
bot very light as n general thing"
