Farm and Crop Conditions.

The most has been made of
every opportunity for field work
during the past week, and con-
siderable progress was reported
in favored localities until the
heavy rams of Friday, which in
terrupted operations. On the
whole very little spring blowing
has yet been accomplished.
Wheat is below an average con
dition. 1t is now doing fairly
well in good dry soil, but it is
poor on low ground, and on thin
uplandS that had been exposed to
early freezes. Rye has suffered
from the froSts of the week.
Glover and timothy seeding con
tinueS. a few oats have been
sown. Winter grain and grasses
have pushed forward somewhat,
but are backward considering the
season, and it has been to cool
for their best growth.
Nearly every section reports
the peach crop totally ruined.
The correspondent at Church
Hill, Queen Anne County, states
that there will be probably one
tenth of a crop, while the report
from CornerSville, Dorchester
County, reads, ''Peaches here do
not seem to be much injured by
the blizzard of February" These
are the only reports in any way
favorable. Pears and cherries
promises partial crop, probably
one-half, and a full crop of apples
is generally expected.
Peas have been generally sown;
a large acreage is being put in in
the southern counties, and plant
ing has been finished in some
districts. Some of the early peas
are above ground. Potato plant
ing is also general, though by no
means completed, and few early
vegetables have been put into the
ground.
