Good Crop Prospects.

Many of the farmers are still harvest
ing their hay crop, which is unusual
here in the last half of August but
which was brought about by unfavor-
able weather combined with scarcity
of labor and large yield. After a
very backward spring the crops in gen
eral, especially corn, are now fully up
to the average with the single exception
of tobacco, which is a little behind but
is now growing rapidly. If the frost
does not come early it is expected that
this crop will yield abundantly.
The early potatoes are producing
fairly well, although as rule they are
rather small. The late crop promises
to be fair in most pieces.
Garden vegetables are now to be had
in abundance with the exception of to-
matoes. Weeds haye been the bane of
the farmers existence this year, as
might be expected with so much rain.
