cultivated, as il is considered betier adopted to the
climate than the Winter wheat. The worm IN the

has prevailed there TO such an extent for several
years that this crop has been considered quite un-

monty good one. In the Northern and Eastern
States as well as in Canada, we feel jostfed in
stating, thar so good crop has not been generally
got for several years. This is crop Of very great
consequence to all sections of the country, and Tor
home consumption is undoubtedly OF mere value,
every thing considered than any other kind of grain

Tho grain affords most wholesome and nutnilve
food for man and beast, The Stalk and leaf afford,
when properly cured, e most excellent fodder Tor
cattle; in fact, from no grim crop can so great an
amount of sustensnce be raised per acre. and from
none can SO good a return bs given TO the land in
the shape Of manure.
ts-'rhis, as grim crop, may be considered
as entitled TO rank next 10 The preceding in impor-
tance. AS food for horses, especially those which
are employed in quick work. oats are preferable TO
any other grain, and constitute the most convenient
food which be given. Ths yield this year Is
generally good, in most sections.
Rye and Barley These are less cultivated than
any other grain. Ia some neigh5orboods, bsriey
might be cultivated more largely to good edvsn-
tage. On soils 10 which il ia we'll adapted, Il will
produce from forty 10 fifty bushels per acre. The
straw is excellent fodder Ter sheep and cattle.
Ray.-In the easterly part of Massachusetts, aud
some other sections, we bsve complaints that The
crop of hay was much cut off by dfonth, but taking
the country together, we think tbs crop was at
least an average one, though The quality may not
be SO good.
Polat0es.-This crop has suffered much in many
spreading this country, az well as the old world
Considerable alarm is justly excited from the pre-
valence of this disease. To the Northern portion
OF this country, well as 10 large portion of Eu-
rope the potaoe crop cannot be considered Of less
value than any other. IL has become an important

pense Of production, TO given extent Of land,
than any other crop. Where il has not been affect
ed by disease, the crop OF the past season has been
generally good one.
Fruit.-We do not recoilect any year in which
the different fruits have been abundant aud Cf go
fine quality, as the last. The various stone
fruits, particularly plume, have been uncomnnnly
plenty and good. This may be in great degree
owing to the disappearance Of the curculio, which
for several years has been so deadly an enemy 10
this description of fruits. Apples generally |
plenty. From Maina and New Hampshire, we
hear that the best kinds are almost n drug. We
should suppose they might be exported 10 good nd
vantage. We believe the apples of that region ure
generally found TO keep better than most Others,
and are well liked 10 the southern markers. What
