woaTmy AGRICULTURAL REPORT.

The grain crops of all sorts continue to have in general a
promising appearance, especially in the midland and northern
districts or the Island, ' her:: notch more rain has fallen than in
those of the south durieg the present month ; and the fine showers
within these few days must ha,:e tended to fill the ears well.
The Barleys are every where apparently very full crops ; the
Wheats in some cases ra' her thin and short in the ear; and the
Oats liken ise occasionally short in the straw, with a deficient
oar. In the more southern part:, of the kimr,dom, these crops,
and especially the NI heats, are more forward than in the
*hove, where they ha..e in common scarcely yet begun to turn.
The Beau and Pea crops are not by au% means so promising, the
tomer being in many sitntions short and not well podded, and
the latter greatly injured by the excessive heat of the season.
The Potntoe crops have also undergone mach injury by the
long continued beat and dryness of the season, and consequently
the deficiency of hoeiraz anti casting up. It i. to be feared that
they will prove .a deficient ceop, at least upon most of the drier
sorts of soil. Th: lands w hic h were Sow() ith turnips last month,
where rain has fallen, have the crops now pu3hint; into broad
leaf; but in other canes, they have either been destroyed or are
still to put in; notch land being indeed yet to be FOWI) %4 till that
crop. The fruit orchards have suffered peat! v, in several dis-
tricts, treat the violence of the winds, and the late hail storms.
The Hops continue in some men-we promising, but would be
greatly impnived by rain. The fallnws of the Wheat crops
have undergone an excellent preparation, and s' no doubt lie
in a fine stale at sowing time. Though the Hay harvest is
mostly over in the south, there is still much gria7A to cut in
the norther; districts. The deficiency of Grass, from the unu-
sual heat and dryness of the season, has had the tendency of
keeping up the prices of fat stock ; s hile the same causes
have bad the (It:et of preventing a rise in the prices of that in
the lean kind.
