The United States apartment of Az
riculturc reports as follows on Both sep
tembcr:
1ennessee-The tobacco crop Is now
about all cut and housed. and the weather
has been very favorable for the process
of curing. Reports from some sections
show that considerable portion OF tho
crop is badly Worm-eaten. and much OF
it badly fired before cutting hat the bulk
Of the crop was housed in good condition.
Kentucky-Ihe greater portion OF the
tobacco crop was cut ANA housed before
the first frost, but i'm some counties
where the unfavOrable weather condition,
caused the transpanting 20 he late. con-
siderable portions of it were stu I'm tn-
fields, and serious damage resulted in
such cases. A few correspondents state
that fully one-nith or the crop Is yet
uncut, and was nearly destroyed by the
frost. This does not represent anything
like a proper proportion for the entire
State. and the portion of the crop eN.
posed TO damage from frost. as compared
with the entire crop. was exceedingly
small. Some reports state that the severe
fr0sts OF Monday slightly damaged to-
bacco already housed.
Indiana-A fair crop Of tobacco has
been secured i'm ohio, switzerland, and
spencer counties.
