Kddt, New Mexico —The water supply for irri¬ 
gation has been abundant this season. Chief crops 
Alfalfa, which sells at 110 to 812 per ton. and Egyp¬ 
tian corn, worth $1 per 100 pounds. This corn yl«lds 
from }4 to 1 36 ton per acre on first plowing. Stock 
relish and thrive upon it. w. b. w. 
Greene County, X. Y.—Though in many respects 
tbis has been a bad year, on account of drought, the 
farmers are cheerful and intend to make up the 
deficiency next year. About double the usual 
breadth of rye has been sown. It was never more 
promising than now. Much fall plowing has been 
done. S. c. m.
