Templeton. — The first half of August was very favorable for 

 corn and pushed it right along, yet it is nearly two weeks late. 

 Potatoes are extra, and promise a heavy yield unless affected willi 

 rot. Apples are very fair, but late. Rather a light crop of beans. 

 Pears about one-half an average.

Webster. — Pastures have improved since the heavy rains. 

 Corn late, but growing well. Sweet-corn badly troubled with 

 smut. Some rot among the potatoes.
