The Crops sc.

Crops IN diichigan.-The favorite
prospect which we noticed some weeks
ago still continues. Wheat every
where throughout the State promises
most abundant yield. But short
time now remains before the harvest,
and we may look forward with reason
able certainty TO the result. In all
human probability the crop will far ex-
coed any ever gathered in Michigan.

Extract of letter redcently received
from gentleman living in Rock Is
land County, III. formly Merchant
in New York:
81 have been ten years conyersant
with this country, and have never seen
such standing crops Of wheat. ! have
seen the grain of many countries, and
have conversed with farmers from
many more, and the like was never
known in this State" eh
II Bountiul Harvest of
our farmers have commenced to cut
their wheat and rye, and in few days
those precious productions Of the earth
will be safely housed and secured
Judging from all accounts, never were
there more bountiiui crops in this
section of country. The wheat is very
heavy and stands thick on the ground,
and the quality excellent. The pros
pect also for fruits of all kinds, for
grass, corn, and indeed for every pro-
duction Of earth almost, cultivated in
this section,is exceedingly favorable
We are visited every day or two with
gentle showers, and the air is balmy &
refreshing. The clouds literally drop
fatness, and the little hills rejoice on
every side.-[Pittsburgh, 30th ult.
The Season.-The prospects of our
farmers were never more encouraging
than at the present time. Our fields
are covered with the most luxuriant
verdure, and the weather is propitious.
Grass and grain never looked more
promising. The recent rains have eff
fectualiy secured most abundant crop
of hay. Potatoes and corn also look
well. No country on earth can pre-
sent more fresh, beautiful, and luxu-
rant appearance than does our favorite
valley Of the Kernebcc at this very
hour. Nature is now in her holiday
attire and most richly and tastefully has
she decked herself E. Augusta, (Me.)

The grain crops in this country new
err promised better than now. Wheat
will be abundant We have had fine
growing weather for some time, and
not more rain than was necessary for
vegetation. Corn looks very promis-
ing, and is generally about two feet
high. The river falling rapidly. The
annual rise has passed this year without
the river getting out Of its banks by
several feet, to the great joy of those
who live in the bottom lands, ii fnde

Several farmers have commenced
haying in Pike. The hay crop good
so far as we have observed. We no
ticed some pieces Of wheat are getting
yellow and are ready for the harvest.

The Journal Of commerce publishes the
following extract of letter dated
DASvILLE, Livingston Co.,
N. Y. June 20.
For twenty-eight years | have been
a resident Of Western New York, and
for the most part Of Genesee Valley,
In all that time have never known so
great promise Of an abundant crop
There IS nothing common to our soil
but what bids fair to pay the farmer
richly for his labor. And while we
can proclaim abundance, we can also
say that it is in a state of forwardness
that is without parallel in this sec
ton.
