Henrico County, Va. — Wheat materially damaged by recent hea^'y 

 rains. No more tban an average crop can now be expected. 



Nelson County, Va. — Wheat, though put in roughly last fall, has im- 

 proved rapidly, and promises much more than an average yield, if it can 

 escape rust and storms ; but for a week past, there have been frequent 

 and heavy rains, with considerable wind, lodging much of the heavy 

 wheat on bottom land, and the crop is, therefore, in a precarious condi- 

 tion, and can hardly escape the rust. 



Albemarle County, Va. — The continued rain and wind have injured 

 the wheat, and much of it is down. 



Fairfax County, Va. — The winter was unfavorable for wheat, but the 

 favorable spring has brought it up to an average. Drilled wheat is 

 invariably better than that sown broadcast. 



Chesterfield County, Va. — A very large acreage of winter wheat, and 

 it is remarkably well filled, but the rust is apprehended, owing to the 

 wet weather. 



^myth County, Va. — Wheat is heading, and is very fine. 



Binwiddie County, Va. — Wheat promises a larger crop than for three 

 years past ; the straw is long and the heads good. 



Fulaski County, Va. — Wheat has imjjroved very rapidly since the last 

 report, and the crop is promising. 



Amelia County, Va. — An increased wheat acreage in this county, 

 despite adverse circumstances in the fall. 



IStanly County, JV. C. — Up to the 24th ultimo nothing could be more 

 promising than the condition of the small grains, and good crops may 

 yet be gathered despite the damp, rainy weather which has since set in. 

 None of the usual disasters entailed on cereal crops by prolonged rainy 

 weather have yet been perceived. 



Davie County, N. C. — Eust is ai>pearing on the wheat, which may 

 ruin it. 



. Iredell County, JSf. C. — Wheat is more i^romising in this county than 

 for a number of years. 



Roclcingham County, JSf. C. — If the present prospect be realized the 

 wheat crop of this county will exceed last year's crop twenty-five to 

 thirty per cent. The area sown is greater than ever before. 



Franklin County, K C. — The wheat cro}), unusually promising up to 

 the 26th ultimo, has been damaged by the severe storms; the extent is 

 not yet known. 



Guilford County, N. C. — The best prospect for winter wheat for several 

 years. 



Cataioha County, N. C. — Never a better prospect for wheat. 



Choican County, N. C. — Wheat promises an abundant yield. 



Alamance County, N. C. — The wheat crop promises well ; if it fills well 

 the yield will be twenty per cent, or more over that of last year. Heavy 

 freshets have swept over a large area of wheat; the damage has not 

 yet been ascertained. 



Rutherford County, N. C. — Winter wheat promises better than for 

 many years. 



Lexington County, S. C. — The yield of wheat will certainly be above 

 an average. The crop is out of danger of rust or smut. 



Newbury County, S. C. — A drought of five weeks has injured wheat, 

 reducing the crop one-third. 



Richland County, 8. C. — Wheat having a good growth was not much, 

 injured by the drought. 



Spartanburg County, 8. C. — Wheat is very premising, but the rains of 

 the past few days cause apprehensions of rust.
