Crops in fhrisiiana Hundred. Tho crop Of
wheat in this hundred has not tnfnad out near
IS well as Anticipated, being first Or atty in
nred by the fly and afterwards somewhat in.
uTsd by the rust Mr.. Vim. Jamison from a
iatch oil wheat expected eighty bushels, but
rom the rust and ly will not have more than
twenty-five. Another gentleman adjoining him
With fair crop ought 10 have at least 900
bushels of wheat, hut he will not have over rs.
The wheat crop of Mr.. pous,n Arm
'irong will be almost entirely destroyed by The
iy, from appearance he will not have more than
me eighth Of what he ought to have. All the
wheat crops in the hundred have been injured
" the fly and the rust, none Of them hayinu
nrned out as it ought to have. The oats crop
was rather poor one. The corn rrop from
lppealances will be an average crnp. the
iay "Iop will will be fine one-early potatoes
sill be poor---peaches none.
Crops in Mil Creek Hundred.---In Mill Creek
Hundred we are informed the wheat crop will
be pretty tolerable---an average crop. Other
things about the same. No peaches they have
been ruined nearly every where.
Grips in 81. Georges Hd.-The crops of
wheat IN this hundred will hardly be half what
they were last year. BY reference to the letter
Of Major John Jones, Of that hundred, it will be
perceived that last year he raised % bushels of
wheat 10 the acre, while This year he will only
-ase about l5s per acre. The sams letter states
hat several fields in the neighborhood arc moi
worth cutting, and that MIR: b. Il. Birns SOW
I'd 30 bushels OF wheat to 20 acres on sanding
;orn, and does moi expect 10 get more than four
een bushels, or less than half his seed.
The Crops.--ln Brandywine Hundred we
Ire informed the wheat crop has been good.
lbove an average The oat crop not so good,
'ui still fair. They are few ii any peaches.
The Wheat crop in Appoqunmink Hid. will
,e about third less thsn an average crop
,eing injured by the fly. Where the wheal
las been snwn amongst the cora, it has been
perfect failure--hilherloii has been considered
IN excellent plan, amt succeeded we'll. The
wheat crop has generally bsen deceivire, .
ield to all appearance would contain hand
anne crop, and when il came TO be measured
would be misegabla.
IN Kent County the wheat crop will be
bird less than average from the ay, though
ooking well-one half of the crop in some
Instances would be rakings. The insect has
lso got among lhe corn.
