GOOD FOR HARVESTING.

Past Week Ha. Been Too Dry for Fal lowinK and Seeding. The weekly crop bulletin of the Agricultural Department says: Except on the Atlantic coast, where rains have fallen, the week has been exceptionally dry, and upon the whole very favorable for maturing and gathering crops. Like the preceding weeks, however, it has been very unfavorable for the germination of sown grain, as well as for fallowing and seeding, which is much delayed generally throughout the central and western and in some of the Southern States. In Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio and Virginia late tobacco has been seriously injured by frosts.
