RUSSET AGRICULTURAL -REPORT FOR SEPT.
The late succession of dry weather his been par-
ticularly faiourable to the backward harvesi: The
latter wheats, barleys, and beans, were never housed
in better order ; and the crops of all serts'ef cora-
and pulse have been generally abundant.'" Of the
early cut wheats, ave fear many were 'very badly got
in ; some wheat-ricks have been taken down and :e-
-made ; and others have butt even carted back into
the fields to dry. From all accounts, however, the'
quantity is unusually large, and likelyto produce well
I rom the straw. Our farmers are nowbusily employed
threshing out. expeCting a very considerable redui-
tion of price, but so little has yet been scild,.that no
regular price can properly be stated. The pre-
sent dry weather is very favourable for getting bur
manure on the wealdish farms, where a great many
act es of wheat laud have already been sown.. The
turnip crops continue to suffer from the ravaves of
the black caterpillar ; and many large fields a. that
useful plant have been utterly destroyed by them,
notwithstanding numerous expedients for preventing
the mischief had been resorted to, such as night-
rolling, treading by sheep, quick-lime sown in the
dew, and brimstone burned in different parts of the
field. These destruCtive insets, we are told, have
nrodigioudy increased in onr turnip-fields, for the
fast two or three years, and nothing, we are assured,
by an experienced and enlightened agriculturist, is so
likely to get rid of their mischievous effeas, as good
manuring, and a favourable season for cowing. to
force the plant out of the inseiffs• reach. Turnips are
often exposed to greater hurt,' from caterpillars, by
too early hoeing ; for, when thick 'on the ground,
the plants have a much better chance of escaping
their rapacity, than when they stand thin. The
easterly winds have checked the growth of grass on
pasture lands. Cattle, both fat and lean, are re=
ducing in price ; but the demand for South-flown
Sheep having been very considerable, particularly
for breeding Ewes, they have in some measure ad-
vanced.

Mr. Augur's sale of lire stock,' at East &untie,
last Tuesday, was most respedably attended, many
of the principal breeders of this and the adjoining
counties, being present. As the cattle sold were the
entire breeding-stock of a well-known and justly-
estimated breeder, we insert, for the information of
oar agricultural readers, the • prices which the seve-
ral lots brought, with the names of the pare assr.s.

At our Cliste fair on Wednesday, the shew of
sheep and lambs was unusually great. The number
was estimated as 30,000, and ready purchasers
would have been found for at lest 10.000 mere, as
but few of the jobbers could get supplied with the
numbers they had commissions • for. Two-tooth
vrethers fetched JOs. four-tooth ditto, 325. to Os.
Ewes from 2155. to :S.js. Lambs from 15s. to 255:
Those who sold an the forenoon regretted their con-
traas, as the prices atter dinner, were from 2s. to 4s.
per head higher. The Duke of Clarence was at •
the fair, and conversed familiarly with several of
our principal South Down farmers.
