CROP CONDITIONS.

NORTHERN SEcTIoN.---G enerally
sufficient rains fell in all counties,
and all growing vegetation made
fine progress under moderately
high temperatures for the season
and abundant sunshine. Frosts oc-
cured on the oath, 25th and 26th;
thatiof the 25th being heavy in ma
ny places mo great damage resulted
though vines and other tender
plants were killed in some locali-
ties. Wheat sowing is about COM
pleted, and the acreage still re-
ported smaller than usual. Corn is
about all in shocks and small crop.
Cutting has been more than usu-
ally general for winter feed, and
the fodder is exceptionally good.
Pastures are luxuriant, and stock
in good condition. Potato crop is
small; rains coming too late to be
of material benefit. Cabbage took
a start in time, and is still doing
well. Rye is being sown. Buck
wheat is being cut, and is not
good crop, the drouth being too se-
we're. Apples are being picked
rapidly, as they continue to fall
If left on the trees; winter supply
small, and of poor quality quite
generally; they are small where in
good condition.
MIDDLE SEcTIoN.-The weather
during the week was generally dry,
with considerable GOODNESS the fore
part of week, heavy frosts occur
ing on the oath, 25th, 26th and 9th
which killed unripe corn in many
localities; also tomatoes, pumpkins
and other tender plants; generally
the damage resulting from the
frosts was not very serious. The
latter part of week was quite warm
and fine for growth of vegetation.
The general conditions were bene-
fetal for all farming operations,
drying out of corn, seeding of wheat
and blowing. Wheat has been
nearly all sown generally, while in
some localities seeding has been
completed, and the wheat coming
up nicely and doing we'll. The
acreage sown.is said to be consid-
.erably less than that of last year.
Ground continues in excellent con-
dition generally, but in localities
some rain would improve it. The
corn is largely cut and in shock ,and
is reported to be in much better
condition than expected. Pastures
and meadows are growing nicely
and look fine. Potatoes are being
dug, the crop being the lightest in
many years. Glover seed ds gener-
ally hulled, the crop being below
the average. Tobacco is nearly all
cut, the crop being light and quality
not the best. Late garden truck
has improved wonderfully with the
recent rains, and is now in fine
condition. Quite a large amount
of rye has been sown and is, appar-
emily, doing we'll. Fruit is reported
scarce generally. Apples continue
to fall and are being made into ci-
der. Pears about halfcrop ;peaches
deficient, but grapes are reported
to be plenty and of very good
quality.
SOUTHERN SECTIoN.-Fair wealth
er with hot days and cool nights
prevailed during the greater por-
tion of the week. On the mornings
of the Oath, 25th and Goth, light to
heavy frosts occurred over the Sec
tion owing to localities and expos
ure; some damage to late tobacco,
corn and garden truck was report
ed, none serious. The weather was
fine for corn cutting and curing,
and the cutting was rapidly pushed
and is nearly completed. Seeding
of wheat, barley and rye progressed
with ground in fair condition.
Wheat seeding was mostly done in
corn or stubble land, and is about
finished; the acreage is reported
generally as only about one-half to
two-thirds of last years. The early
sown wheat and barley is coming
up nicely, and making a good
growth. Pastures are needing rain,
but are still in fair condition. Bot
tom land corn is giving a very good
yield in some counties, but will not
average more than two-thirds of a
crop. Glover hulling is nearing
completion, with yield poor to good.
Tobacco ia about all cut and housed; I;
the late, owing to improved condi-
tion, is giving a very good yield,
and of fine quality. Stock is in
good condition, with water again
becoming scarce. Tomatoes and
J cabbage have improved considera.
bly,; tomatoes being plentiful. All
large fruit is about gone, except
some late winter apples; winter ap-
pies are very scarce.
