The Crops Suffering for Rain-The
Wheat Yield.

FINCASTLE, VA, July 25.-(special)-
The growing crops in this county are in
a most precarious condition for the want
Of rain. A larger number Of acres than
usual has been put i'm tomatoes, and the
plants have been so seriously DANA led
by the hot and dry weather, as 10 lessen
the prospect of a full crop. which will
materially affect the canning interests Of
this section. Corn is also said 10 have
suffered and the loss Is put at 30 per
cent. Gardens, which promised in the
early part of the season 10 be in advance
of former years, after fair yield Of
early vegetables, now present the ap-
pearance Of having passed through the
fire.
There was a light shower Of rain this
morning, and the indications We're en-
couraging for more, but there was soon
a clear up and the sun came out with in
creased power and with scalding effect
upon all vegetation which had not been
consumed. But at p. NJ. another
shower came up. which fell gently for
ten or fifteen minutes, and, which, 1t is
sincerely hoped. is the forerunner Of an
abundance Of rain TO follow
one OF our best farmers was heard to
say yesterday that the crop Of wheat
now being threshed shows a falling off
from last year of not less than go per
cent As evidence of the truth of this
statement he gave the names Of five
of his neighbors who were known TO be
good farmers, showing that on 200 acres
planted in wheat I'm 1898 they had made
2G5O bushels. whilst on the same land,
and under like conditions of labor and
fertilizing, the yield this year was only
1.Oi2. SO, without being either pessimists
or optimists, 1 say those who till
the soil and carry upon their shoulders
all the rest Of creation are not over
stocked. az this time, with brilliant pros
poets for the future. Some in this county
still have on hand their wheat crop Of
1898. and will add II TO that OF the
present year, in the hope Of getting In
the near future better prices than are
now offered.
