The Frederick, Md Examiner reiterates it's oninion
that in consequence Of the ravages of the fly not
than half wheat crop can be expected from that
county, and the farmers confirm the opinion.
The Hagerstown, Md News says that the late wet
weather while it has given powerful impulse to vegc-
tation. has kept the ground in such condition that IL
has been impossible the corn and the grass has
grown equally fast with It,
The Fredericksburg (Va.) Neps says-The wheat
crop in this region has wonderfully improved since the
late rhins. short excursion TO the country surprised
to the promise Of this Important staple. We are
inclined to the belief from what saw that the yield
will be at least an average one.
The Lansing (Mch) Stcte Journal. of the 4th inst,
saysThe wheat looks well in the tnbered lands the
has been unusually backward but IL is thought
IT will prove beneficial to the wheat crop is but

the corn Is roting In the ground, where 1t has been
planted in clay soil

The Terre Haute ia Express Of the 9Th instapt.
says:-1 he army worm Is still DAD in the land but
we believe its ravages will be overcome. Cutworms in
many places have been as bad upon the corn as the
army worm upon the meadows, oats and wheat fields
Some farmers have had to replant about every eighth
hill while few have poughed and repanted en-
tirey anew, In some fields With favorable weather to
come average crops may be made IL otherwise better

The Rochester, N. " .9duertiser, Of the 18th inst
rays :The cold and wet weather this spring has been
very unfavorabe for spring crops but wheat grass
