TENNESSEE.— Hamilton: Harvest over; half a crop; badly frozen out, and in many 
places spotted. Smith: Injured by wet. Meigs: Cut short by winter-killing, rust, and 
spot. Montgomery: Rain threatens to injure the grain in shock; expected to thrash 
out half a crop; Fultz wheat did very finely; yields well and ripens early ; if it re- 
deems its promise it will supersede all other wheats. Hancock: Wheat that escaped 
winter-killing looked well till just before harvest, when it was greatly injured by spot; 
same fields not worth cutting. Giles: Wheat sprouting in the shock. Loudon: Not 
over ahalf crop. Carter: Does not stand so well as last year, but better filled; qual- 
ity fine. Fultz promises a great yield. JWilson: Damaged by hard winter and scab ; 
but little over a half crop. Putnam: Badly spotted. Monroe: Short 15 to 20 per cent. 
Henry : Some wheat sprouted in the shock. Humphreys: Mediterranean, Amber beard, 
Golden chaff, Tappahannock, and Little May have done well. Bedford: Injured by smut 
and scab. Roane: Partly winter-killed; much of it lodged. Lincolv: Sprouting in 
the shock. Knox: Injured by severe winter and wet spring. Cannon: Harvested 
poorly, being injured by scab; sprouting in the shock. Bradley: Badly winter-killed. 
Sevier: Thin, but good; three-fourths of acrop. Grainger: Half a crop, five bushels 
per acre. Mobertson: Injured by rain. 
West Vireinta.—Monongalia: Largely winter-killed, but grain good and heads well 
filled. Raleigh: Tolerable. Pendleton: Greatly improved; good crop. Braxton: 
Winter-wheat thinned by winter-killing, but of good quality; Fultz did not freeze 
out; its heads are well filled and grain plump. ‘Tappahannock also good. Barbour: 
Well filled, but thin on the ground. Pleasanis: On some soils the crop is good; on 
others it suffered from frost andrain. Mercer: Frozen out badly, hence a bad stand ; 
midge destructive in some fields. Jackson: Harvested well. Harrison: Thin on the 
ground, but well filled; crop short. Hardy: In some localities badly winter-killed ; 
in others more or less injured by the fly and chinch-bug ; smooth varieties on low 
grounds considerably shortened by rust. Cabell: Some complaints of rust, smut,and 
midge. Pocahontas: Fair prospect. Monroe: Not over a third of a crop. 
Kentucky.—Owsley: Mostly winter-killed, and what escaped was badly spotted ; 
‘Touzelle struck with black rust while in bloom ; Fultz from the Department the best 
of all. Boyle: Touzelle badly rusted. Warren: Crop well saved; grain good and 
crop satisfactory. Johnson: Injured by rain somewhat. Clinton: Better than was 
expected ; grain well developed ; will probably be injured in the shock. Scott: Har- 
vest delayed by wet weather. Russell: Injured by fly and chinch-bug, yet a full aver- 
age; Tappahannock a fair crop; Fultz 75 to 100 per cent. better ; it is the finest wheat 
yet seen here. McLean: Thin, but grain good. Tappahannock and Fultz very suc- 
cessful, but the Touzelle too late for the climate; it was badly winter-killed. Mercer : 
Damaged by frequent rains; Fultz much the most promising. Logan: Injured by 
smut, scab, and rust; cut wet and shocked wet, and will probably sprout in the shock. 
Henry: What escaped winter-killing has been greatly injured by the midge. Taylor: 
Fultz has done splendidly ; Touzelle a failure. The Fultz stands winter better than 
any other ; brings fine large heads, 60 or 70 grains per head; grain large and plump ; 
wheat will be damaged in the shock. Lincoln: Crop injured by rain. Hardin : Will 
average about 6 bushels per acre; Fultz will make 15 bushels. Marion: Generally af- 
fected with scab, but harvested in good condition; better crop than was expected. 
Anderson : Looks well; some complaints of light weight and insect injuries. Shelby; 
Thin on the ground, but over average ; midge just reported. Fayette : Generally thin 
on the ground; late crops badly rusted; midge hard on late-sown wheat. Butler 
Badly frozen out. Laurel: Whatescaped winter-killing looks well. Adair: Some- 
what injured by rust. 
Ou10.— Hamilton: Fultz wheat gives satisfaction. Athens: Bottom crops swept by 
floods. Hancock: Full average crop, but badly thrown down by late storms. Holmes: 
Well filled and good, but prostrated by late storms. Washington: Generally light on 
old and thin lands. Warren: Harvest in progress; it is feared that the great amount 
of rain will damage the grain in the shock. Portage: Looks well. Ottawa: Largely 
winter-killed. Morrow: Some fields good; others injured by wet; manyrusted. Del- 
aware: Within a few days rust has injured late winter and spring wheat, yet the crop 
is quite promising, Fultz wheat from the Department behaving splendidly; large 
yield and good flour. Crawford: Nearly average; but little rust. Vinton: Fultz our 
best wheat. Pickaway: Tappahannock and Fultz wheats are very fine. Lorain: Very 
promising. rie: “Harvest late. Ashland: Crop has come forward rapidly; straw 
copious and clean; berry full and plump. Adams: Unusually early harvest ; crop 
wilkaverage from 7 to 9 bushels per acre. Fultz very fine; ripened June 24. Medina: 
Spring-wheat sown late and hurriedly; season not propitious, but a fine growing 
shower has lately fallen. Jackson: Good crop. Greene: Fine; crop safe. Ross: Crop 
a grand one. Logan: Crop heavy on bottom-lands, but through fall drought and win- 
ter-killing it is light on uplands, except where early sown. Noble: Best crop for many 
years. 
MicniGan.— Kalamazoo: Greatly shortened by drought ; not over a half-crop. Ne- 
waygo; Fine June weather greatly improved the crop. Montcalm: Reduced a third
