land during the week ending August 2lst,
was fair in all sections. Except dense
fogs during two or three days, mostly in
sections of the southern coast, there was
abundant sunshine. The fair wea thor WAS
favorable to farm work and outdoor work
generally. on account of the great need
o. rain, crops and vegetation in general
made little progress The weather v as cX-
ccssiVc'y warm in many iuldnd sections.
During the forcpart of the week the nights
ware very cool, and frosts occurred in
some part of each state.
The fair weather Of the week has been
decidedly favorable to haying, which has
progressed TO "A finish II is generally ac-
knowlodged that the crop Will consid r
ably exceed i'm bulk the expectation Of tho
majority. It is of excellent quality and
hCusad i'm fine condition. on account Of
the prevailing dry weather the crop Of
rowen promises a light yield though d
few correspondents report prospects CT a
good second crop OF hay. Corn fodder is
generally in good condition and promises a
fair yield of food.
The harvesting of oats has progressed
well during the week and is row practi-
callY finished. The yield Is Cdlr.y salts

rortcd in good condition. The condition of
corn IS not as satisfactory as at the close
of the preceding week The drought Is
severely felt ON high lands aad unless rain
is forthcoming the yield will bc material

Blackbcrres will be a failure in many
sections unless rain comes very soon. All
reports are favorable to Cranberries
which are now approaching maturity
