In Southern Maryland the CROPS are
reported to be in She following condl-
tion: The outlook for the corn crop
continues very encouraging, notwith-
standing the dry weather. The crop
was much improved 10y the showers 0f
the ith, but more rain is needed. To-
bacco is clean and growing well, gen-
orally. Some of the early has been
housed. In st. Mary's county it is
sharpened up and buttoning, needing
more rain To make good crop. Oats
are being thrashed with good results.
The young sets of grass are exception
ally good. Tomatoes promise To be an
excellent crop. Early potatoes are good,
but the late varieties are showing the
effects of blight in some places. Sweet
potatoes are doing well, and watermel-
ons are now in market. Grapes have n
good appearance, hut some rot has been
observed. Peaches are ripe for market
and are realizing we'll for sound fruit;
the yield is not generally large.

annapolis. - No rain through the
week. Corn promises To be good crop.
Tobacco, sweet potatoes and late Irish
potatoes doing well, and garden truck IN
plentiful. Peaches ripe for market,
are inferior and not plentiful. Sprayed
my trees before and after bloom with
Bordeaux mixture; did not save my APP
pies, they are wormy and falling off.
Watermelons are i'm market first from
this section. JOS BEARDMoRE.
PdtUGent.-Crops Of all kinds are in
need Of rain water. Vegetation on high
lands is failing rapidly. Fine weather
for thrashing grain. Full crop of beech
nuts ond acorns. Peach crop light and
inferior in quality. A strong south
wind prevailing, which indicates falling
moisture. Horse llies ia abundance.

Bristol. The corn crop is fine, con-
siderably above the average, and in good
condition; the early is safe, and good
rain now will make the entire crop in
this vicinity. Tobacco crop is good and
clean. Some crops topping out rather
low; tits thought to be the best here for
several years. A good rain now will
almost, IL net quite, insure the crop.
Some early tehAoro has been housed.
Wheat yield hege is poor; about six bush
els to one Of sec1haG. Oats turning out
fine. Nice show~ last night; very bene-
fetal; more needcd. Early potato crop.

Anndpolis.-rhe dry weather of the
week has not seriously affected thegrow-
ing crops; but ehe rain OF Sunday night
WAS Of the greatest benefit; particularly
to the corn, which is promising IN color
and growth, excepting that OH thin soils
and some of the later paintings. Think
more than the averge crop of corn is as-
sured. Grapes are looking well, but lit
tie rot noticed. Bartlett pears are rot
ting on the trees.
