special D!spatch TO The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, June 8.-The to-
bacco crop in Virginia this year will
be short one. due to the long drought
that has prevailed for the period of
the planting season. Not onc-half of
the crop is yet in the hills, and the
plants are now too large for setting.
There has been no rain here for four
weeks, save that yesterday afternoon
there was a terrific downpour for
perhaps ten minutes, which did not
entirely cover the city.
The corn crop is also poor, the
plants being backward, and the farm
ers are unable to plow because OF the
dry and hard ground. The situation
is very gloomy for the farmers in
every way. and as small crops were
being planted. and this being re-
tarded by the drought, the prospects
are anything but assuring. Even II
there is a season now for setting the
tobacco plants the belief is that 1t is
too late for the growers to cultivate
and mature ii in time for harvesting
before the froStS come.
