Apples promised unusually well early in the season, but latter they be- came knotty and dropped from the trees before maturity. Peaches sufiered s.milar- lv. Grapes in some parts of the state ure injured by mildew. Pe ! West Virginia—The condition of corn has fallen off since August 1st, owing to the ex- treme 'dry weather during the month. The oats crop was generally poor. Potatoes will be a fair crop. Stock hogs are. fewer in number and their condition "is not a8 g as last year. 2 Onio—The condition of corn has improved in the middle section of the state since the last report, butthe drought has damaged the crop in the southern section. The yield and quality of wheat are disappointing pre- vious calculatioas. Grasshoppers did much damage to the oats crop and the weight per measured bushel i less than usual. A smaller numper of hogs is raised because of the past ravages of cholera in some locali- ties, and they have been sold off closely on account of favorable prices. Grasshoppers have materially injured the condition of clover and caused many fieldsto be aban- doned. : Women Buffragists Meet. The Woman Suffragis's. meeting at Washington, D.
