farmer,ffl we have heard, will lose about 301. by the

tp •
Levious to the gathering in of the harvest, very
serious consequences would have ensued; and, even
Itect was, the loss has been great. We continue to
ive satisfactory reports of the oat crop. It is
generally found that the yield exceeds the usual
average. Wheat, especially spring-sown, is much
complained of ; and, from what has been experi-
ced of this plan of cultivating wheat, we would say
that the climate of the north is not suited to it,
and that to insure anything like a full crop, it
should be sown in autumn. Of the potato
crop we can say little beyond that stated
in the reports which, from time to time, we have
given during the past eight weeks. Diversity of
°Pinion still prevails as to the amount of loss already
coffered by the disease. As facts, however, are always
better than mere theories, we give a statement of the
amount received by a gentleman last week for a por-
LPO of his potato crop raised the day before. The
description was that of the English cruffie
total, and the
