The Crops.


The Montreal (Ca Gasefte, of the 10th inst,
says:-We learn fom all the Upper Canada papers
that there never finer prospect of an album
danl harvest. Hay is beng generally cut and the
strong and big headed. The spring crops re.
port. as most promising On the whole, the yield
hls.yea n expected 70 be uncommonly large. In
the neighbour hood of Kingston complaints are made
of the ravages oflhe red weevil.
The Rochester IN. w. Amuicam, of the llth
| inst, says:-"W We understand that wheat cutting
was commence on Monday last, the 9th inst, in
the town Of Avon, Livingston county and It Is ex,
be ready for grading during the present week.
In the town OF PeIinton barley cutting was began
on Monday The wheat crop in this neighbour
| hood is now mainly out OF danger from rust, aud
the present dry, warm weather increases daily its
security. We are informed by farmers that the
yield in Monroe county was never better. The
heads are perhaps not so large as Is sometimes the
case; but the grain stands thlckly on the ground,
having been very little winter killed, and the berry
promises IL be unusually plump.
The Winchester (Va.) Prginian, OF the llth
INST, says:-ln the upper valley the harvest IS
abeut finished, and we learn In quality and guam
ter much remains to be done, and probably greater
breadth of fine wheat, perfectly ripe and longing
for the cradle, never before presented itself on the
10th of July The season has been backward, and
labor is scarce. touch of rust is felt IN several
parts of the surrounding country along the waters
of Capon we hear Of good deal OF injury In
that way. The crop, generally, however; wall turn
out to be, what we have predicted, full average
one. A recent fine shower has revived the corn
in the neighborhood
The Franklin (La.) Banner, Of the 18th ult.,
says:-The weather has for some time past been
highly favorable to the growth OF corn and cane,
and these crops in this parish now bid fair to turn
out well in the fall. In some parts OF the parish
the corn cropis extremely good
The s. Landry La), Whig, of the Both ult.,
says:-The planters in the Feedna parishes and
in Wilson county, Miss, owing to the late heavy
rains, up to their ears In grass. There is how
ever, generally good stand, the cotton having re-
covered from the effect of the late severe frost
The com looks fine, and the sugar cane on the
hills beautiful.
The Houston (Miss) Republican, of the 23d
ult., says" The crops, as far as we can learn,
an abundant yield, and the cotton Is recovering
from the sore shns, the lice and the grass. These
are dire, relentless enemies; the one only sur
renders TO the warm sun Of June, the other to the
will be backward, and an early frost next fall
would PROSTATE the rising hopes of our farmers.
The country is devoid of fruits
The Concordia Qa.) Mlelhgencer, of the 18th
ult, says:-Our crops are very bad Cotton is at
least month later than II was last year, and it
appears TO ME can, under no circumstances,
reach more than two-thlrds of what was raised in
this section of country the past year. and then the
crop was short, nearly one-thlrd of an average.
The corn crop Is worse than the cotton; there is
no coming out In hat.
The McConnellsvile, (O.) Herald says Until
within the past week or ten days, the wheat crop
in our country was quite promising But our far
mers inform us now that il is reray and serious
ly affected with the rust the late sowing especial
y; We hope that their fears may not be realized.
The appearances for good crop were as favora-
BILE as one should wish, and we did feel like con-
graduating our farming friends upon their pros
poets From our recent exchanges we learn that
t.s wheat in adjoining counties and other portions
VI the STATE -. -, similarly injured.
