THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS

We have bad some delightf_ul growing weather
lately. The wheat plant has improved wonderfully
both in Devon and Cornwall, and all other grain
crops are excellent. Potatoes are looking healthy,
and are coming up strong. GraAs is very luxuriant,
and the country looks well. We are at present pay-
ing high prices for corn ; but let us look forward
with cheerfulness, as, according to some accounts,
we have yet a pro. pest of plenty.— West Briton.
CARMARTIIENSIIIRE.—The crops of wheat in this
part of the country (owing to the late genial raid
and warmer weather) are greatly improved; the
early sown spring corn has also at present a very
healthy appearance.— Wthhm„.
Another most congenial week ; the appearance of
the country becomes daily more delightful. We
never recollect to have seen a more genial " hit "
than the pear trees everywhere promise ; the blossom
has fallen, and the fruit is clustered like grapes The

is now confidently ex-
pected ihilutifolly, arid as the
bl os o
to "knit" and stand. The heo.fieial effects
of the aun are rapidly becoming more obvious; the
wheats, especially on the cold lands, are greatly im-
proved; the blade opens more vigorously, and as-
sumes a darker hue, a sign of health. The Lent
grains • . ,in fact, both field and garden, are manifestly
encouraging signs of a bountiful future.—Hereford
Times.

We have hA another week of glorious weather for
vegetation, which has progressed with surprising ra-
pidity within this dis•rict during the last few days,
abundant irrigating showers of rain having fallen
each successive day ; and all that is now heard com-
plained of by the agriculturists is the want of a little
more seasonable warmth. We continue to hear the
potato crop spoken of with great hopes of success,
both in quantity and qualify, while the grain crop is
viving every appearance of being a bountiful one.--
-Keutlai Mercury. . ,
_.
Tlie weather has been very seasonable since our
last. Much rain fell on Saturday evening and Sun-
day morning. The electrometer indicated a day or
two pr,viously a very disturbed state of the electri,
cal fluid in the atmosphere. Vegetation is making
rapid progress, and in ,Worcester-hire there can be no
doubt but that the crops of every description, as far
as they have gone, are in the must promising state.—
Worcester Herald.
Upon the whole, there is promise of an abundant
if not an early harvest. On some lands which are
undrained, and in the wheat fields which were last
ear clover, the plant certainly looks rather thin ; but
the very warm and genial weather which wo have ex-
perienced for the last week has given it a luxuriant
appearance, and the tittering out or extension of the
plant is taking place most satisfactorily. The outs
and hirler are well up, and perhaps in no previous
year has the promise of abundance been greater or
more encouraging. It is an old saying that a late
spring, preceded by a severe winter, generally inherit
in a fruitful year; and this year, the two premises
have 13en fulfilled, we must hope that the same con‘
elusion may occur. If the weather should continue
warm, it is not yet too late for us to have a harvest
not protracted beyond the average season.—Dover
Chroni,..le.

The extreme high prices to which the grain markets
throughout the kingdom have risen, and the existing
probability of s• ill further increase taking place,
threatening almost a famine in the country, naturally,
makes the growing crops of the season a suhkct of
anxious consideration. It gives us great pleasure in
being able to state that, a.) far as we have learned, the
crops in this and the adjoining county of Westmore-
land bear a most favourable aspect; wheat, oats, and
barley, were perhaps never, of late years, known to
iook better. The wheat, it was feared, would have
suffered considerably from the virulence of the frost
(which often has the effect of thinning it) during
winter; but it has withstood the attack in a re-
markable manner, and gives every prospect of
being a plentiful crop. The wet weather during
March and the beginning of April greatly retardea
the farmers in preparing their land for sowing the oats
and barley; but notwithstanding this. those crops are
in a much more forward state than last year, and the
extent of growth appears to be somewhat more than
the usual average. During the last ten days or a
fortnight every kind of vegetation has sprung forward
with an arnazng rapidity ; the pastures and meadows,
which before bore but a very hare appearance, are in
most places very fu I of grass, and the hedges and
trees are fast assuming their summer garb. Tha
fruit trees hold out every promise of a good crop, the
gooseberry trees in the gardens are superabundantly
clad, and if the r pple and pear trees are not visited to
any extent by the insect-, there will be a good crop
of those fruits.—Carlisle Journal.
THE Hors IN KENT.—Alaidstone—The hops are
now growing.fast, after the warm showers; the tyers
are engaged everywLere, and will he troubled to get
them to the poles fast eflougth. At this place the flea
' has laid hard noon them, but they are now getting
:may from the flea. The hops are rather lute this
year, but there sects to be a vreat deal of vigour in
the plant. Wateringhury—The hops never had a
more healthy appearance, nor grew taster. Some
grounds were ii:lested with the fl,,a at first, but the
late warm Nv,ather has enabled the Line to grow
completely sway from them. Ca,itk,rhury 11:e
