Of sunshine. The rainfall has generally

the rapid growth Of all crops, and yet
there is a general improvement noted.
Cut-worms and wire-worms continued to
injure corn and tobacco.
DECREASED ACREAGE.
The reports still show a decreased
amount of tobacco set out and a scarcity
of plants In most sections. In the south
ern portion OF Campbell county a CON
siderable portion Of the land that had
been prepared for tobacco has been
planted in corn. Wheat harvest has been
