THE CROPi, IN I RELA ND. —The weather since the
commencement of the present week has been all that the
farmer could desire, the rain having kept away, while a
succession of light breeacs served to dry the atmosphere. We
regret to learn that iu various districts the early-saved grain
has been housed in etch a wet condition that it has had
to be taken out of the stack and spread to dry. Last
Saturday, we heard of one gentleman fanner in Locale
who had to take down a large hovel, the produce of six
acres, and expos* it to the air • and we fear that the same
process will have to be adopted pretty generally. The late-
saved grain will be secured under more favourable condi-
tions. We do not find that the potato disease is spread-
ing, but the extent of the damage done thereby will not
be known until digging-out has ended, which will not be
until neat month.—Norilurn Whig.
