THE CROPS.

We collate from our exchanges The following in
formation respecting the crops;
VrRMosr.--In our own State, (says the Burling.
ton Free Press the labors OF the husbandman have
heen crowned with an unusually rich reward. The
hay, oats, corn and othsr crops are very arge--he
hay almost unprccedeniedly so. In some quarters
the wheat crop has been injured by the fly, and the
seed in others is somewhat deficient in SIZE but the
crop is very fair one. We do not understand tina,
the disease Of the potato is of alarming extent.
Conference.-The potato crop, in many parts,
particularly In the Pennington Valley, is suffering
severely.
New YoRK.-ln Monroe county, the probability
is that the wheat crop will fall short some fifteen
bushels on hundred, compared with former years
This Is partly attributed TO the fact that the berry is
not so well filed as was anticipated, and partly to
very destructive little worm which eats out the
middle Of the kernel, leaving it nothing but mere
chaif IL is said that the corn crop in that region
will be greatly injured by the drought.
MARYLAsb.-The farmers Of the Eastern Shore
counties Of Maryland are in great fear Of their
crops, on account Of the long continued drought.
Wheat very materially injured by scsb and rust
PEsssrLyANA.--ln the Westchester region the
''rot" is making sad havoc. The editor of the
Washington Reporter has been on tour, and re-
marked very abundant harvest The yield TO fall
grain is threshold that of past seasons.
INpIASA.-The present years wheat crop is 10
per cent inferior inquaty to last year on account of
the rust Other crops never looked better. An ed
itor in Rushville had presented to him bunch OF
oats foot long.
WnooNsiN.-The quality Of wheat is fair, though
by no means equal to last year. The quantity has
been deprecated by the rust.
MissouRi.--The late crops have been much in
jured by severe drought, more excessive than has
been known for many years.
New JERsEY--Abundant harvests, though in
Sussex il is said the wheat is rather behind its
age yield The New Brunswick FREEDMAN says:
''In Middlesex, Somerset, Hunterdon, and War
rem, the crops are equal to, If no, beyond, the
age yield. Wheat has suffered somewhat from the
fly and from rust, but not extensively. Rye is
good Hay and oats are very heavy. We feel
authorized also to say that corn promises to be
magnificent crop. 1t everywhere looks well. The
season could not have been better for it. Potatoes,
too, thrifty, vigorous and forward; and IL dis
ease assails them, will produce bountifully. The
fruits of the earth generally are unusually abundant
And that most delicious article, the peach for which
New Jersey has become SO famous, is, we under
stand, likely to be SO plenty and cheap as to be
within the reach of every one who can muster a
sixpence."
MIcHGAN.--The wheat crop of Michigan will
this year by far exceed that of any crop in any pre-
vious year. II has been computed that the yield
will be at least ten million bushels.
LouIsIANA.-in the Red river parish, sugar looks
fne--new sugar houses have been put up, and ma
chinery of the most costly kind placed in them. In
the Avoyelles parish anything like full crop of
corn is by no means to be hoped for. Heavy rains
have been succeeded by very warm weather through
out the State and fears entertained that the rain
will bring out the caterpillar.
ANApA.--The Montreal times states that the fly
has done great injury to the wheat crop.
NORTH CARoLrNA.--The promise Of the growing
corn crop is greater than was before known in
that quarter.
GEoRGIA.--The prospects Of the sea-island cotton
crop in Glynn county are not very good, the recent
rains having caused the plant to run to weed, and
the lower bolls generally dropping. On Cum
berland island, the caterpillar made its appearance
about three weeks since, and the work Of destruc-
ton is rapidly progressing. The provision crops
are good, and will afford an abundant yield.
FLoRIDA.--In the lower parts Of Florida, where
the prospects three weeks ago were good the recent
rains have had the effect on the cotton as in
Glynn county, Georgia.
MIssrssIrri.--Th cotton looks pretty well, and
should the season from this time be favorable the
crop may be heavy. II is better on the sandy than
on the river and cane-brake land.
