Five Years in Prison.

During the past seven days the tempera-
tire has averaged about four to six degrees
daily below the normal fox the season. Frost3
occurred in many sections Of the western nail
Of the State; slight damages resulting there
from in the Southwest, and in portions OF the
Valley counties. There has been generally
less than the average amount OF sunshine.
The rainfall was slightly above the normal
near the coast, and proved very benehcla''
cs,ept retarding the harvesting Of clover. In
the sections Of the State the amount OF rain
fail was generally about half OF the normal
for the season. but the rains OF the previous
week prevented damage, though more rain
is needed in portions Of the central and
southern counties.
The reports show that grass and oats have
improved somewhat, bnt both crops viii be
very much below the average, though winter
oats may give fair crop in some OF the cas-
tern counties. Wheat is generally short, and
is being seriously injured by rust, ana III the
central portion Of Plttsylyania county the
Hessian fly is reported in some fields.
The cool weather has been favorable Tor
the cut.worms and wire-worms, and corn and
tobacco have been considerably injured by
them, and in Halifax county some farmers
are ploughing up ana replantiny corn. me
reports show that the cool weather has killed
considerable Of the tobacco plants that were
recently set cut, and that plants are becom-
ing still more scarce. and that the crop IS
therefore likely to be still further reduced be-
low previous expectations.
Cotton and peanuts are doing fairly WE'LL
but need continued warm weather. Potatoes
and sweet-potatoes are generally doing well.
Some Of the fruit that was not previously
killed 10y the freezes is falling of. Grapes
are reported rs doing well in eastern sections
but are being injured by rose-worms IN por-
tons Of the Southwest and Valley counties.
Continued warm weather ana good rains are
needed, but the present outlook is for cooler
temperature and only local rains.

Steamship agents say that the steer
