THE HARVEST.

EAST RIDING.—The harvest in this neighbour-
hood is fast progressing. The crops of every kind
are very good, and no doubt will yield abundantly in
most instances. There have been reports of potatoes
being diseased in different parts, but it will be found
that there is nothing to cause alarm beyond what
has been witnessed in other years. The uncut
crops are all ripening simultaneously, and har-
vesters are in great request. It was expected
reapinggtheeneral
machines would have been brought into
use this harvest, but little has been done
with them beyond experimentalising. They do not
seem to have been made with that accuracy and ap-
DlLeability which the nature of the ground and the
crops require, but they must ultimately come into
extensive use ; they require to be improved in
mechanical construction, and made so simple as to
be worked by ordinary farm labourers.—Eastern
Counties Herald.

WESTERN DISTRICT.—The quantity of rain which
has fallen has excited the fears of the agriculturists
almost to a panic ; the consequence has been an
extraordinary advance in prices ; but there is little
doubt that, notwithstanding the adverse weather, the
present prices cannot be sustained. The crops are
generally heavy, and, although there is a good deal of
wheat partially spoilt by mildew and spirting, which
will cause some cf the samples to be inferior in
quality, there is reason to believe that the harvest
will be an average one.—Cheltenham Examiner.
HEREFORDSHIRE.—The expiring week has been
by far the tinf.st during the harvest ; an immense
breadth of land has been cleared, and a large por-
tion in good condition. That much wheat and barley
has sprouted is beyond all doubt, end the farmer will
have to experience great loss from damaged grain.
The hop yards are still improving, and some present
a luxuriant appearance; the crop in this district is
not, however, expected to be near so large as that
of last year. The potato disease is increasing, though
it is of a less serious character than formerly.—
Hereford Journal.
DORSETSBIRE.—The condition of the wheat crop is
still the subject of almost painful anxiety, but the
very fine weather that we have enjoyed since our last
issue has done wonders in favour of the harvest.
Harvest operations are in full play—what the yield
will be, he must he a bold min who would venture to
anticipate.—Sherburne Journal.
CEIESIIIRE.—The weather has been favourable for
the operations of the harvest since our last. It has
been taken advantage of to the utmost, and the quan-
tity of wheat stacked in this district has been im-
mense. A considerable quantity, however, still re-
mains uncut, and it is not considered likeiy that the
ground will be cleared by Wednesday (Sept. 1)
when partridge shooting commences. We regret to
have to state tnat a large proportion of wheat in this
neighbourhood has been founi sprouted, and in a mat-
ted condition ; and that the prospects of the harvest of
1852 are not likely to realise the anticipations that
hid been generally, hut too prematurely, formed of
them.— Chester Chronicle.

DERBYSHIRE.—The whole of the corn crops, with
the exception of a few late pieces of barley, have now
yielded to the scythe and sickle, but from the fickle •
growth will he nen of. the weather for the last fortnight, but a small
quantity comparatively etre parativehlayvehas beens secured. We do not

MID-LOTHIAN.—The weatner in the latter 'half of
this week has been very favourable. Leading is still
further behind than is desirable, and more stooks are
to be seen on the fields than perhaps were ever before
witnessed. There is very little white crop now to cut
in the Lothians, and what remains is all dead ripe.—
