AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR AUGUST.

Corn-harvest is finished in all the forward, in full ac-
tivity in all the middiing, and comineticiti;: in line most
backward districts. Beans will soots follow. Wheat is
a variable crop ; but, on a comparison of the various re-
ports, will in all probabibv exceed expectation in re-
spect of (pa: unity. The 6111 W 13101/g. hut not stout, and
remarkably clean and wholesome. The barley crop is
universally great. but partially affected by blight, to the
great injury of the sample. Oats are not a bulky crop
upon the ground, and it is supposed will prove a medium
produce. Bear.s and peas vary extremely ; in some coun-
tries they are mock hurt, in others a most abundant
crop ; beans are far the most productive. The same of
tares. Rye will yield a middling produce. Potatoes are
a large growth. The turnips has e planted well ; and, in
consequence.cf the favourable state of the weather, have
been well cleaned, the (allows a!aritig the same advan-
tage. }tops have had great etremali of pine, are very
Inxiiriatit, and, notwithstandin4 the injuries they have
sustained front the chauge of weather, are likely to prose
abundant.

Norfolk Agricultural Itcp;rl.—NA'e have had the finelt
weather ima4inaLle throoghout the last mouth, and it
has enabled us to get in nearly the whole of the Corn in
most excellent order. There has not been even half a
day's interruption on account of weather, and such a
ham:Alt.:A not Leen remembered for many years. Last
year, to be sure, may be said to form an exception to
this assertion; but IL will be remembered that in tut!:
there was then considerably luta than now; consequeid,
ly, that less line and labour warl required to get op the
crop. As ta• the quality, (as-far as we have yet been
enabled to form an opinion) we must decidedly give the
preference to that of lasi year. Wheat is not generally
sn even and bright in the sample, sor will it be a coaling
crop. We ground this opinion on some kw instances
which have come within our observation, and also
(which is no bad criterion) nil the reports of tha:.gleaners
whoegenerally speaking, are pretty competent to spetl%
to the average quality of their several parishes.—Of the
Barley crop we are extremely sorry that our .present ac.
count must appear st-angoly at variance with Mrintr re-
ports, bin such is the case. All at one- an alarm was
given of the very ordinary quality of the flarley crop.—
Every one seen:_ all appearance of a great crop, seemed
to conclude that the vality was equal to the quantity ;
