TUE CROPS IN KENY.—The weather, during the
last three weeks, has been very favourable to the
crop, having been warm, with some genial showers, which
have caused tbo corn crops to recover flask colour ' and had
• beneficial effect on the spring corn. Wheat Ls looking
very well, and should there be no blight, will be above an
average. Oats have improved very much, and although in
some places complaints are made, upon the whole they are
leaking well. The showers havedone much good to the barley,
particularly the backward sown, and, with the exception
paws which have suffered from wireworm during the cold
end drying winds, this crop has a very luxuriant appearance.
Diem are short in places, but with generally a good plant.
Pees wash* a good crop at present. Potatoes are looking
IssamanY forward and well, and as they were early planted,
they brave a good chance to escape any serious mischief from
the blight. Trefoil haying has commenced, but the crop
will not be large, the dry cold weather having lasted too long
for it. Sainfoin and clover promise a good cut. Oran
on late soils will be an average; but on forward
Lords the produce will be short. Tams are good in most
places. Tho showers have brought up the wurrel
earlier than in most years. Seedsowing to getting forward.
Cherries promise a better crop than of late years. Phone
and peers ore thin in many ;daces. There ap Alpearsberta a greatare
deal of •• blight" on the apple oyes, and the
greatly infested with maggot. In the Isla of Thanet the
whoa looks as well as could bo desired, while the late showers
have had a very hence, ial effect en the lent corn. The
and seed crops are also very promising. But fruit will not
be over-abandon*. In the Weald, the wheat looks well ;
Lasesn some places the Lest cam is not very promising. The
lat howers. however, have been very seasonable, and the
cares' crops have mach benellted.—South Eastent Gazette.
