Two extra steamboats, have been put
on the Rappahannock river TO handle the
crop of English peas. The crop, how
ever. will fail considerably short Of the
expectations. although the area planted
10 peas this spring is much larger than
usual. Insects have played havoc with
the crop. and will greatly reduce the yield.

crop would yield at least thousand bar
