much of it. Oxford: Pinched by drought.

PENNSYLVANIA.— Northampton: Good in quantity and quality; straw and grain 
fully 50 per cent. better than last year. Berks: Thrashes out more than usual per

by wet in the shock; one-fourth thought to be ruined. Cecil: Berry very good; pro- 
duct below average. 
Virainia.—Charlotte: Greatly below expectation in quantity, but of good quality. 
Powhatan: Thrashed out poorly; farms usually producing thousands of bushels will 
this year turn out only hundreds; this is due to heavy rains while the wheat was in 
bloom. Tappahannock yielded abundantly in spite of all the drawbacks. Pulaski ; 
Not thrashing out well; quality poor; Fultz did well. Jederick : Fultz a great suc-
