TOIACCO. v y... .j r k I our report of September 4tb, ere ae lepliea from 1,614 farmers, who planted 20.4x4 acrea In tobaoeo. It. 1888: the tame laruiers have 12.697 acrea of tbai crop, In 18H we now submit report from 1,062 farmer, who planted 22,600 acre,, lo 1888; the aame farntere in -1889 , planted M.iuu aerea. ..." ; j It will be seen from these reports. that t he acrwgeof 89 la 02 61 percent. of that of '88. , Our report of July rat. care it as uiv per cent, or - tue aeruage of '88 ; aud our report of Sept 4iu, placed it at Gl 't per cent. The praaent beiug 02 61, it is conclusive, that these three reports, being so nearly the aame, cau not be far but of the way, unless ourcorreapoudeuu have all systematically erred which is simply incredible. We gave condition sopL 4tu at ui compared with '88. At that time about 20 per cent, in the hill. Since then, tho woathor baa been all that oould be dealred for its maturing, housing! and curing. Tbe condition aa applied to pound, baa been In In-creaoud - creaoud In-creaoud from 70S' to 80. If, for ex example, - ample, example, A planted 100 acre - In ;l88, ' and raiaod l,0HO pounds to the acre, he would have a yield os 100,000 pound t. If lo '89 be planted 02 W acres, and raises 1,000 pounds to tbe acre,- be haa 62,600 pounds. ' But, suppose the condition as applied to pounds enonia new percent less in 89 thau In 'e, aud In making l.OUO puunda to the acre, be makes 800 which would be 20 percent, low than lait year how would the table atand after takiug tbe 20 per cent. o(f of the 62 aoree of A' erop of '89. . Alera are the ngnrcs: v 1888.. . - 1889 ! lwaaraa, iao,aeo ,...... J' iu, ta,ooi lbs. Thus A would have produced just 50 percent In pouuds in '89 of what be had raised in Bn. .- i neae are pre cisely tbe facts as shown by onr cor respondents throughout the tobacco rowing counties, and we make tbe deduotlon merely to simplify their presentation. Borne lew aectlonl or neighborhoods have a much acreage as last year ; some 76 ; some 60 per oent ; and some less. Tbe erop la not so heavy as it was last year, and Ibis l the reason why we allude to the oondition as applying to pounda and not to quality. The erop will lie genorally bright and vary aaelul for manufacturing purposes, except wboro it waa cut loo green and froze In the barn or frosted. - It bas fair to arood body, with small fibre, but Is rather narrow In leaf. Tbe crop is reported by nearly all correspondents to be oaaiy worm eaten. Tbe frost scare in September caused a good deal to be out green The "killing frost" on tbe night of tho 7th and 8th of October found the large bulk of the crop safely housed. In ordor to ascertain the damage by this frost, we telegraphed over the btste and submit replloa: . liowllnz ureen Uomnam . out standing killed perhaps 5 per cont. Ueoruetown .No tobacco out here. About 16 per cent, damaged by frees- iujr in barns. Mayavillo Careful Incimri reveal no damage by froat. Lexington uarnage o trost win not exceed 6 per cent. Horse Cave best information put dsmsge about 2 per cent. Msylield Damage about. AO per cent. . ... " POTATOES."
