THIO HARVEST IN TUE EASTERN COUNTIES.—
Great progress has been made with the harvest up to
Saturday night in the eastern and midland district.
About Sirton Lindsey, the wheat promises well, both as
regards quality and quantity. About Lincoln the wheat
is excellent in quality, with heavy orops, but barley and
oats are light and thin. In the Newark district harvest-
ing is proceeding rapidly. In the neighbourhood of Ket-
tering the wheat is of exoellent quality and exceeds an
average yield. The late sown barleys present an indif-
ferent • n but • more favourable report may be
merle oft osesown earlier. Harvest has commenced at
Ramsey, and is now general in the Fees : the wheat crops
are spoken of well as regards quantity and quality,
being above the average. Oats are light
and
short in straw. Harvest operations are general about
Long Sutton; on the best lands the wheat crops are
splendid, while potatoes are also generally good. The
harvest in the neighbourhood of Uppmgham is rapidly
p and lithe present tine weather continues it
be completed in a few days. The wheat crop is ge-
nerally good in this neighbourhood. Beans, peas, and
potatoes are a failure about Holbeac.h ; the wheat crop is,
however, excellent. The harvest has become general
about Market Harborough ; the wheats are splendid, but
barley, oats, and beans are below the average. The har-
vest is rapidly advancing about Wisbeach ; the wheat crop
in Ma»Lland and West Norfolk is generally good. About
Bury St. Edmund's the wheat crop. is turning out ex-
ceedingly well ; barley, however, is not so good, except
on heavy lands. In consequence of the extreme drought,
several eases are reported of damage ocaisioned by sparks
front passing railway engines, pipes, &e.
