The first blowing of the season W; S
commenced in Bourbon two or three days
since with sod, and there will be a good
deal of same turned for corn, hemp and
tobacco, and nearly all of the stalk land
was sown to small grain last fall. From
the present prospects of the growing
wheat, especially the late, there will be a
goodly portion sown to oats, and some of
the best land put to corn again. The
early sown wheat looks very well, con-
sidering the siege it underwent, and with
an open spring will make a fairly good
yield.
