1301111 EX AGRICrLTURAL REFORT.—The weatlue
de teg the smith of April be. been very variable. We lave
had a Sew warm growing days, but doles the greater part
of :the time cold north-east wind. hove prevailed, with meta-
Monet heavy rain, which latter was mock wanted, not only
for the lend but also for the ponds, which in many places
were vary low. It hoe boss amg favourable time for
getang on with ill farm work; every else is bury getting in
ileale assagelownrxel crop, find every year the great value of
this root is ease appraises! • the Increased cultivation
dueled the lei Mw ran is bees enormous. It is much
more entails !Ilea turaips._ end ill sot subject to so many
difficulties and diseases. The wheat, upon Ito whole, look.
prornieieg, bat the Gold winds have had a pnjudicial office
apes it he many places; on the poor clays it looks yellow,
sad a large balk of straw mow* be expected; on thin light
sods there lestais)y equal be a heavy mop, a good many
pieces sow thin, end them la also a great deal of light rub-
bish, owing to the dry elate in which the seed wee put into
the monad loot mama ; on the strong toils it is very
luxuriant, the great danger being an exrese of straw.
Cosoiderieg the cold weather we have bad, oats and
barley ere beide. as well as can be expected;
there are some ,tiooes whom the mop bee bora
such Injured by the wire worm, bat It is net et
all general. bees war has become oriels there bee bees
great excitement be the coca trade. Wheat bee rises within
a week about lb. per quarter, and there some a probability
of its going still berr, but prices at present ere very irre-
gular, Whin and defilers in the eedietavy way will not be
aneiois beware, until the trade homes somewhat more
ended ; but the rapid rids has no doubt bees valued by an
bereased em set of speculation. There is a stung opinion
that the farmers ere considerable holden of wheat, but we
believe it to be erroosoos. There is now sad then an instant
where the bulk of lot yeses growth Is held, bat the tame
are fee more ermierons when the whole MB been sold.—
