The unh-erwil unfavorable conelillons have been Toei'tituatc-il pi most narts of the section 1 the weather ot the. week. ai.d the outlook for the majoilty of crops is very .lise.mr.iging. The northern ortloi3 that recehed the smaller nmoiiuls of rainfall were still n(!licti.,l with the drlng winds that hr-ve niovail-l '," 1 ivf, mini nn. suiiiii-, ern portion was more favnied by recelv- " ...mi riiuii ii-iil en 1 1 1 1 1 1.1 1 iv revive sutfeilng vegetation, theie must be much more to bring any permanent benefit. As It now stands some crops nrr beyond help. The late frosts were especially diseMrniis In their effects, so that the combination of drought nnd frosts has made Hie farmers nearly hopeless of a, successful season. Grain. In some few fields oats, barley nnd rye. are doing fait ly well, but such fields are the exception and lint the rule. Fall-sown grain is heading low, while the spring sown is coming up uneven and making but imie giowtb. A large amount r eai ly-planteil corn that was up. was cut to the ground by the frost. Much has been replanted tho past week and. with favorable weather, may make a Tin' rrnp. Many farmers have delayed planting, waiting for better soil condi tions, nnd the reports indlcato that there still remains a large acreage to bo plant ed. Grass. The condition of the grass crop remains maetleallv unchanged, nnd Is In an exceedingly bad way. Some corres pondents In tho southern states say. however, that the meadows are looking much better than could be thought pos sible under so adverse circumstances. On old anil high lands It will probably hard ly pay to try to harvest tho crop. Pas tures aro burning up, so tliat the feed Is very scant; some cattle are being pas tured on grass land where thero was promise of only a small yield. Tho cat tle are feeling the conditions seriously, the milk tlnw Is being lessened and tho quality deteriorating. In some localities t the frost wns severe enough to kill thol young clover leaves, but It Is possible I mat tno attermatli may bo fairly good. ' Fruit, It Is feared that In the northern states whero fruit trees nro still in bloom the damage done by tho frost will he considerable, whllo In the south tho dry wentlier Is causing a heavier drop 01 young rrin 1 tnnn Is usiinl at this sea son, 'llie strawberry ciop will probably ne very iignt. The stvero cold has, nci doubt, Injured the blueberries to a great extent. This Is to be deploied, as thero was a prospect of n good crop. In tho rr.mherry-gi owing districts nf tho Capo the damage from frost was widespread and serious, it being estlmnled that fully oii'-half nf the crop was destroyed. Luckily many hogs wero still Modeled aiul so escaped without Injury. Vegetables. Many gardens wero ruined by the freeze, and those that escaped nro suffering for moisture. It Is not too Into to replant nnd sccuro good crops, Tobacco. Tobacco growers have taken every ndvantage of all fnvorlng rnndltl tic ns nud hastened the setting of tho plants. In some towns theio was enough rainfall to put tho soli In ralrly good con. dltlon. but much more Is needed, as so far only tho linmcdlato surface has been benefited. ADDISON COUNTY COURT.
