CORN POOR AT vINToN.

Vinton, June 15.-The weather last
week was anything but favorable to
the corn. The rains and the cold
nights materially retarded it's growth.
The weaker kernels failed to grow,
and in Some fields the stand is poor.
This week the outlook is brighter. The
temperature has increased very much,
and the farmers say once the corn
gets started the growth will be rapid.
The season somewhat resembles the
weather of this time last year. The
small grain looks fine and the mead
ows and pastures never looked better
this time of the year.
