HARVEST IN Howard DIsTRiCT. The
Howard District Press says:-"Our farmers
are at present engaged in the harvest field,
gathering the fruits of their Iabors for the past
year, which would have been large but for the
continued rains. We think two thirds crop
will be the yield generally, though many will
not realize one third of crop"
CRoPs IN CECIL County. TIE Elkton Wing
says; "Our farmers are now in mid harvest
Some wheat has been injured by the rust, and
in many fields it is too thin on the ground, ow-
ing to the Expectations Of the fly, so that we
do not think there will be near an average crop
in the county. The wheat for few days past
has been very favorable for harvesting The
wetness of the season has made heavy grass"
