In short visit which we have recently made to
the Valley, we had an opportunity Of noticing the
prospects, along the line Of travel through some
portions Of Maryland and Virginia, Of The Wheat
aud Corn crops.
II has been n source Of no little comfort TO us,
TO find that the Wheat and Corn are likely TO turn
out much larger yields than has heretofore been
supposed.
While we had been suffering for rain in this
quarter, previous to our departure, we found the
country above looking remarkably fresh and in
yigorated, from tho blessings which Providence
had recently showercd down upon IL.
The Wheat harvest in the upper country, though
never as early in this quarter, is fortnight or
three weeks earlier this year than usual, and much
OF the grain has, sometime since, yielded TO the
reaper. Indeed, VIC have noticed that lot Of now
Wheat has already reached Baltimore, and is like
y to command good price.
The quantity Of Straw this year is not as large
as usual, but the heads are all well filed, and the
quality good. And however much the farmers
may have feared failure, heretofore, they cannot
now deny that they will be most agrccaby mis-.
taken in their calculations.
The Oats aud Hay crops, it is true, are to be
inevitably short, but, with the present prospect Of
Corn, these deficiencies may DO fully made up
All we ask now for the AgricuIiuralsts, is a good
price for their products, and all will be well,
