AUGUST.
In estosequence a timely rails aerie( the early part of
August, every description of waits •ud vegetation cape-
rieneed a very great improvement ; but, owing to some
heavy rain about the twiddle part of the month, the rank
Wheat became lodged. However, upon the return of dry
weather, the lodged Wheat had in a great measure repined
itself, as that we might a few days ago conclude, with a few
exceptions, itently, some lodged, and some smutty Wheat,
that Wheat in general would be a good ge crop; bat as
the mouth fur its last few days concluded with heavy rata.
we esi ..... t at present form an opiiiius of the state of the
crop, because it is mow in different states, namely, stacked,
atooked, bound, reaped, lodged, standing, ripe, and verging
to ripeness, aie.
The cultivation of Barley seems rather limited. However,
is general. ilscre is nu great cause of consolation with regard
to either produce or quality, and it may be considered a
tolerably good crop, subject to the danger of the precarious
stale in which it is now placed by the last few wet days.
The early and timely rain has replenished mut retrieved
the Oat crop material y, much more than any other kind of
grain, particularly with regard to the improvement of straw,
which appears now to be of sufficient growth; but we are
incompetent to judge of the damage or injury it may now
sustain iocuusequente of these act f.w rabiy days.

Rape, Rye, and Bere have not appeared leas favourable
than the oilier descriptions already described, boils with
regard to• produce sad quality; uotwithstasidiag we are
apprehensive that they will *bare the same fate as the other
kinds of grain, °wits' to the concluding part of the month
basing been so rainy.
Flax is a very good average crop, and, is general, it is
pulled, watered, and saved.
Aftergrass is in a very flourishing condition, and It will
probably be improved by the present rain.
Although the Hay crop is considered by s I to be
light, it may be expected fully adequate to the consumption.
The Potatoes are an excellent crop, both fur produce and
quality. They are most exteisatvely cultivated, much more
so this sea than at any former period, because some
farmers were ohlegeri, through the pressure of the times, to
reduce their ,tuck of cattle, and increase that of tillage.
As September is the thraibing time, chiefly in (eider to
procure Pill,/ to secure butt Corn and Hay from the win-
ter, we may expect to be more competent to form so our
next Report a proper idea of the produca and quality of the
harvest than we can do at present. As the colicluding part
of Angnrt terminated in heavy rain, we must leave the re-
sult to September. However, from every appearance of the
Grain which has already been tin a•hetl, and brought to our
markets, we may justly say that some of the Wheat was very
prime, equal to any of the produce of last season,more of it
very inferior. Certainly, we may expect more 'matey and
small Corn this season than we had last year. The latter
description is chiefly owing to the Corn being lodged, %bleb
circumstance prevented the Corn from rousing to proper
maturity, and consequently kept it in the present state,
which is dark, small. and rasher shrivelled Indeed, if the
rain conttnue much loner, it seems to threaten us with
theilty flour, similar to what we experienced a few years ago.

In the early part of August farmers were busily employed
in drawing culm, second ploughing fallow., brining home
bay and turf, and completing 1 other necessary
branches of agriculture. Now their principal employment
'teems to consist in reaping the harvest. All description, of
