HAEvEsT.-o8r farmers are now Engaged 10
harvesting. The wheat crop throughout the
county Is extremely light Many keldB have
been Piowed up or Pasiured, whilst others will
not yield the seed. and, in no instance will there
be half an average crop. The heads, 10 most
cases, are large and well filed, but the grain Is
50 very thin on the ground, ihO, We feel perfectly
satisfied that our statement some weeks since,
that the wheat crop Of this county would not ay.
e'nge one-fourh Of the quantity harvested last
season, IS not only sustained by the result, but IS
actually much below the real estimate.
The corn, oals and grass crops look very we'll,
and promise more 'hun an average yield. Fruit,
though not abundant, will be plentiful enough TO
supply the wants OF the people. Olher yegela-
bles will be abundant.
