All Crops Doing Well.

In discussing weather and crop
conditions in the Tennessee section,
Director Bate says in his weekly bull
letin, issued last week:
''The corn crop promises a large
and fine yield all over the State,
probably the finest for many years.
1t has had a remarkable outcome,
considering the many adverse condi-
tions to which it was subject early
in the season. Cotton is in fine con-
dition of growth and development
and is fruiting well. Tobacco is
growing well and is reported COM
paratively free from worms, which
is very favorable. A large area is
being planted in the second crop of
Irish potatoes under favorable con-
ditions. The early crop made fine
yield. One of the. largest hay crops
ever known in the State has been
saved, and it is being added to as
the late grass, millet and peas ripen.
Young clover is exceptionally fine
this season. Peanuts are growing
well, also stock peas and millet,
which promises abundant crops as a
rule"
