The Wheat Crop.

|
The farmers in this section of Iowa have beer
busy for the last week, or two in the harvest field
and the winter wheat has all been secured. Thi:
crop, though much injured by the winter ane
cold spring, is better than many anticipated il
would be. That portion oft which survived the
winter is of most excellent quality, and ha:
been we'll secured,
The spring wheat which is now being harves
ted will afford more abundant crop than has
been raised in the State for many years. We
bear of but very little complaint Of rust, o,
smut.
Corn and oats will yield more than an average
crop.
| The following view of the present years crop
in other sections of the Country is cheering tc
| the heart.
THE CRoPs-The Rochester American Of
Saturday says: Nothing has occurred to maj
the highly promising appearance of the wheat
in this vicinity. The weather continues to be OF
the most valuable character. There has been a
sufficency ofran, of warm sunshine and Of cool
days and nights. Consequently, while the
we'll filled and the kernels uncommony plump.
We hear of no rust, and the period in which that
calamity can be apprehended is we'll nigh past.
The yield can now hardly fail to prove uncom-
monty, if not unprecedentedly, abundant. We
learn that wheat cutting, on dry sandy soil,
| near Palmyra, Wayne county, commenced on
Thursday last, Harvesting will begin to con-
siderable extent in this neighborhood, by the
middle of next week, and become general as
carly as Monday, the 22d inst. Other crops
corn, grass, potatoes, &c, are also excellent.
The following we take from the Rochester
Advertisers One Of our millcrs has shown us a
letter Ann Arbor, Mich, dated the 9Th inst
which says ga large portion of the wheat il
this state will be cut this week. The weather
is fine and crop good. No rust nor blight of any
kind"
Another letter to the same gentleman, datet
Battle Creek, Mich, June d, says the quality i
first rate, and quantity double last years.
The same gentleman has adviccs fronrsum
NIT, Licking and Ross counties, Ohio, all O
which concur in representing the wheat crop n
p DOtll III quality dHu
Another gentleman, recently from Ohio, say
the crop is larger than any preceding one.
We hear that some wheat in Livingston coun
ty just south of us, was to be cut this week
Quality fine.
THE CRoPs.-We are informed by one of OH
y citizens who has just returned from a trip Of I
miles into the interior of the State, through Ro
cine, Walworh and Rock corntics, that the crop
of all kinds look remarkably well, and that tn
farmers are rejoicing in the prospect of an abun
dant harvest and good priccs.-[ Aitwauhee Ga
zeHe.
The harvest has commenced in the vicinity o
Auburn. Thursday some farmers in Chill, il
this county, began to cut wheat
The account from Pennsylvania stnte that not
withstandng the drought which prevailed dur
ing the month of June, they reaping boun
tiful harvest of Wheat and Rye. The grass CROP
is also good, but the oats will be very short
The weather there has been exceedingly dry
since the first of June, which while favorable
for gathering the grain and hay, has been very
injurious to the second crop of grass, the clove
not having started since the first cutting. The
loss Of this crop, however, is Of little moment
except for the value of the seed
The WHEAT OF OuIo.-ln many parts of the
State the wheat harvest is commenced, and
through the State generally the promise for an
abundant harvest was never better. In the south
part of the State much of the crop is already
safe 1t is too late now to have the crop aftec
ted by blight. The heads are we'll filled and the
kernel plumb. We congratulate the farmers o
the State, and through them every other elias
of business, on the improved prospect.
