THE lIARVIIIT tf YoleialllMM—Acting on the
plan of former years, we have been at sure pains to ob.
Lin from our correspoedents in Yorkshire ratable report+
et the harvest prospects in their respective localities.
With the exception of the root crone, which have
suffered greatly from want of moisture, there seems to be
so ground for despondency as regards our food primped..
Wheat appears to have =penally the merit of being of good
quality, and though much lees abundaut than last year, the
yield will in most cases not fell far, if anything, short of an
averagn produce. The repot la of the barley and oat crops
vary considerably. 0. dry lands especially both have been
=favourably affected by the lot( drought, but on most
soils they in man► cams look exceedingly well and prom=
to yield • crop both excellent and abundant. In some
donnas, however, oats will be only • moderate crop, sod
short io the straw. In not • few instances turnips present
• miserably thin and dwarfed appearance. The complaint
against potatoes is chietly that of smallness, the result of a
levig continuance of dry weather, by which the root crops
generally have been situated and retarded in growth. The
parched state of the ground has also been exceedingly
detrimental to the growth of the after-grass Mace the bay
harvest.—.,ends Idereary.
