though but little has been sown. Have no
rye sown here. Corn now looks very
we'll, and over an average planted. IL VIII
be very good uRless some disaster, such as
drought or storm overtakes 1t. Potatoes
look very full. Grass will be a huh crop,
of fruits, apples will be about one-halt
crop. Peaches very few, with pears and
ounces about one-half crop. Berry frult
never did look better and now promises TO
make abundant yield. Our business men
are all complaining Of hard times and no
money. and the outlook in business is not
very encouraging. Our business men and
merchants see but little early change until
relieved by fall maturity OF crops.
Preston County-In this locality Jne
wheat, oats and grass are very nne. Inere
is a good stand of corn, and it is very large
FOR lis age Ii was planted late. The
fruit crop is poor one III this section.
There are no failures but business Is very
dull. Land only nominal value when
forced to sale seems to have no real value
Cattle very much like land. Other prop
erty different.
Harrison Couuty-Our farmers Of late
years have been applying themselves 70
live stock, and the acreage now planted IS
not as great as heretofore. Wheat is good
Not much corn planted and not much small
fruit Farmers Just about grow enough
corn for their own use. Business is Qulet
and there's nothing very noticeable IN the
condition of trade mere.
Randolph County-Pastures and mead
ows are very fair, wheat good, corn back
ward and acreage below the average
owing 20 wet weather. Oats promise
something, but the crop has been failure
here for the past three years and the acre
age is very small. Potato crop looks well,
and there is a good acreage. Other yege-
tables also show a good acreage. Fruit
crop is good, especially apples. Business
is dull. The wet weather has greatly him
dered the active lumber business, but 1t
will no doubt move somewhat as the sea-
son advances.
Richie c. H., Richie County-In wheat
there is every indication Of full crop.
Grass is better than for a good many
wears past Oats is good showing. Corn
is a little backward, but indications are
good Potatoes will show up more than
average and vegetables are all good. Fruit
will De much better than for year or so
past. Business is favorable, but money is
In demand and hard to get. The favorable
outlook for crops has tendency to make
things look bright.
Pennsboro, Ritchie County-Raius have
been excessive and spring planting late,
but the outlook is promising for good crops.
Early planted corn was retarded by wet
weather, but is now recovering and laLe
planting looks well. The meadows with
some more sunshine will improve, yet they
promise good yield. Wheat looks Well,
Ample crop will be fair in this immediate
section, especially low ground orchards,
which have for several years failed. Small
fruit only promises a fair yield, some OF II
being injured by late frost. Farmers seem
intent on a Jealous effort to make good fall
crops. Business is fair only. No conserV-
alive estimate can DO made at this time.
Prices of live stock will be established
soon. when a better estimate Of the bus
mess outlook can be made.
Roane County-CrOps are reported as
looking well all over this county. Grasses
are exceptionally fine this season. Corn
is small but we'll stocked, About ten per
cent. more planted this year than last.
] Wheat seems 70 be late, but has a clean
stock and excellent bloom. The percent
over last wears estimates will be about
five. Potatoes are promising, though the
acreage is not increased. The continued
rains are preventing cultivation to some
extent. Upon the whole 1t seems that tue
conditions are better than last year. Inc
smallpox scare has effected business here
to a very perceptible extent, but statesmen
report the outlook as fiatterIng. The lum-
Der trade at this point is lively and bust
ness seems on a boom. Money Is reported
close. Bank has none to loan, although II
seems to be circulating about as usual.
Upon the whole the business outlook OF
ROane is good.
Taylor-The amount Of wheat soWn is
about the average, and the prospects for
good crops much above the average. All
farmers report the outlook most favorable
for a large crop Prospects for corn, po-
tatOes and garden crops are excellent at
this time. Grass crop is-as good as known
for the past ten years, and there will be a
fair Weld Of all fruits. All crops
through this section present tatte-lng
prospects. The business outlook is COED
and trade aottGe in all branches. Collec-
lions are easy and money plenty. People
are gradually getting IN better nnanelai
condition and everything points to pros
porous year in this State.
Tucker County-Grass and wheat are
thriving and promise we'll for harvest. Ow-
ing 10 the wet weather this spring, corn Is
lata. but is doing well. Oats are good, and
potatoes doing finely. Upon the whole, we
expect better than an average crop. There
is a fair crop of fruit along the river bot
toms. but almost a complete failure on the
uplands. Lumber business is good. Ceal
quite dull. IN the spring, but is Frightening
m 70 some extent, and is becoming more
brisk by degrees. Tanning and leather
business is good. The mercantile interests
in this county is governed entirely by these
industries.
wet. grass is good, and all crops promise an
average Weld. There will be berries and
plums, but apples, pears, peaches, cherries,
etc. are almost an entire failure. There
has been an unprecedented business devel-
opment throughout our county during the
past Year-this is all along the line IN the
various kinds OF business. Business en-
terprises have been established, towns i'm
proved. houses built The boom here has
been substantial and is staying. The last
year has equaled the ten preceding years.
and the coming year promises as much.
New Martinsville. Wetzel Comfy
Wheat and potatoes are excellent. Corn is
doing well, but wet weather has interfered
with cultivation. Oats is fair crop.
Grass fair, and would be better were it not
for the growth of weeds, which impair the
quality OF the hay, especially a weed
known as "horse sowel, which bids fair TO
ultimately ruin the meadows. The fruit
prospect is very fine, apples and peaches
promising good crops, plums and small
fruits generally being number one, and
with prospect of iRest crop ever known.
Business is fair, somewhat improved by
oil operations in this and the adjoining
county Of Tyler. Otherwise it is ABOUT as
usual. Until the crops are further ad-
vanced it is hard to give a correct estimate.
Harvesting Of wheat will begin about June
10Th.
Burton, Wetzel County-Whest is better
prospectively than usual, and IL there is no
damage TO il between now and harvest, and
il ripens all right will be the best we have
had In the country for many years and as
good as ever was. Grass crop is good and
win be equal 10 the best years. Corn is
a little short; was delayed by
cold rims in Nav but is now coming on
