While making a hasty Jaunt through
eight OF ten counties OF the State last
week. the editor Of the Recorder
aimed TO observe as far as possible
what Was heing done ny the people
along the railroads. crop prospects,
etc. The best crop OF apples we saw
II along the railroad In Mingo county
Al All other points the trees did not
indicate one-third Of a crop. The best
prospects for corn we have ever seen
IN the state Is along the Ohio and
kanawha Valleys. Oats and wheat in
dicated good crops. but as a rule
meadows appeared light. There
seemed TO be twice as much grain
growing along the Kanawha Valley as
we had ever seen in any season in
ne past - years. Along the Coal &
Coke Railway gardens appeared to
be negligible quantity as compared
with this end o. the State. BY taking
advantage OF available patches OF
ground along the y. a. w. there are
more gardens and better gardens
than any place we saw.-McDoweu
