Wo havo liml u very dry spring up
to this time, and crops tm tlu high
lands mi tiered accordingly. On the
uplands, crops of nil kind arc very
light ; so far as my observation ex-
tends, I think they arc the lightest
I have ever known. On the river and
creek bottoms grain crops promise

' Those seeds that I received from
you arc looking excellent, and they
promise- a large yield.
I have just returned from a fishing
exclusion in the mountains about
Mary's river.in Henton county, where
I caught some excellent speckled
trout. Along through Henton I ob
served tho crops are looking excel
lent all along the road. I think wo
will have an abilndant harvest this
season. Tho orchards on tho high
ground look well, Whilo tho trees on
ttic level prairio seem blighted and
half-dead. T think the reason tho
trees on tho hills thrive best, is bo
caiisotho roots nro high and dry dur
ing tho winter, and aro thus preserved
from rotting. 1 thinU wo will have
to ndopt undcr-d raining, on level
land?,1 if wo wish, to raise healthy,
Jong-lived fruit-trees.

The need of woolens during the war
excited an extraordinary demand, in

the tarilf was enacted a reaction in
wool had commenced, not only in the

force of that reaction, mill prevented
