CROPS AND WEATHER,
Much Corn Planted and Preparations
 for Planting Cotton Progressing.

Following IS the weekly crop bull letin, giving a general summary for the week ending Monday, April IT:
 Fair and warm weather prevailed until the night of the Huh, when rain was general throughout the State, except in some portions of the Northwest section. The last of the week fair and moderately warm days, with cool nights, prevailed. In the Northwest, where no rain has fallen, the ground has become hard and dry, rendering blowing difficult. Farming operations are backward, but much blowing and planting have been done. In many localities the planting of corn is nearly completed; some has been replante Preparations for the planting of cotton are progressing, out so far very little has been planted, and in some sections none at all. Wheat and oats present more favorable prospects; oats are especially poor. Grass in meadows and pastures looks better. Un- favorable reports as to the peach crop continue to com in, but apples, pears, plums and strawberries promises a good yield.
