Correspondence of the Times. The News Around Meador. Mkadoh, June 22.?After a protracted silence 1 will give a few dots on the crops around here, as I have hut little other news. Our community has been the sceno of a desperate struggle with the grass for the last two or three weeks : but I believe wo are about to pull through, conquering it at last. The wheat and oats sown in the Fall have been harvested, and made very fair yields. Verj' few of the oats sown in tho spring will be wotth cutting. There was a very small acreage of grain sown in this vicinity. It is a mystery why more attention is uot given to these important crops. I believe one reason is the universal custom of letting cattle run at large duriug the winter. It seems to me that it would be much better to convert some of the uncultivated farm lands, 1 now washing ainto pastures, well set | wi h Bermuda or wire Grass, for winter i pastures, so thai the grain crops could bo given the attention they deserve. i/jru 19 uiiiis.izg, irs]>i;u>?iiijr nuviu it lias been workcJ.
