THE CROPS.

The splendid weather of the past week has effected a
marked and gratifying change in the grain crops, and
several fields are already cut ; barley and wheat are
ripening and changing colour with almost magical rapi-
dity, and in eight or ten daysf should the weather con-
tinue as at present, the scythe and the sickle will come
into general and active operation, and doubtless the bulk
.of the crops in this district will be secured in prime con-
dition.—Nottingham .Revieta.

The, wheat harvest will commence generally on Mon-
day next. The sample will be greatly inferior as corn-
pared with last year. Each year now shows a falling off
in the arrival of Irish reapers. The war, emigration,
the improved condition of Ireland, and the practice of
mowing corn are the causes.—Stfarnford Mercury,
The harvest in East Lothian has already commenced,
and will be pretty general on 14colday over the early dis-
tricts of this obunty; Tbb crops everywhere present a
very heavy appearance ; but the want of sunshine and
the late rains have done a considerable amount of damage
to the wheat. The yellow maggot has been more than
usually destructive. The potato fields are more than usu-
ally luxuriant, particularly the red varieties, and, as
yet, no appearance of disease has been seen in the fields.
Edinburgh Courant.
Hay is now mostly gathered, and in bulk is far below
an average. Wheat in this country will, beyond doubt,
be above an average. The quality of the crop will, how-
ever, be contingent on the next few weeks' weather.
Potatoes and turnips surpass all former crops within our
recollection. Potatoes continue free from disease at a
later stage of their growth than in any season since
1845. The potatoes and turnips of this county are cer-
tainly extraordinary crops. —A yr Advertiser.
Relating to the harvest, cheerfulness has taken the
place of despondency. The yield, though not equal to
that of 'last year, will, it is anticipated, supposing the
present weather continues, prove nearly if not quite an
average. Harvest has now commenced in some favoured
localities, and will doubtless soon become general.—Ply-
mouth Journal.

More settled weather is now bringing the harvest
rapidly forward. A considerable breadth of oats and
peas has been cut, and in some instances carried to the
rickyard. Wheat and barley are little more than com-
menced with, and of the formier a lamentable breadth
has been flattened by the rain. The later part of the
hay crop is in progress of being secured, and the bulk is
generally heavier than that which was cut at a much
earlier date.--Coventry Herald.

•
Allain,/ to the scarcity of labourers for field-work at
present in Ireland the Limerick. Chronicle says :
Agricultural labourers are in greater request and receive
higher wages than has been known in Ireland at any
period. Labourers for reaping, mowing, and other
harvest operations were engaged in this city on Satur-
day last at 12s. 6d. per week (wet or dry), and diet,
and on Monday morning, when fine weather appeared to
have set in, they were eagerly picked up at 2s. 6d. per
day and board.
