/ The present and past weeks the harvest wefi'
for this State. The early wheat is already cut AID
the late wheat is being cut throughout the CREATE
portion of our State. The yield in Wake and "f
tiguous Counties according to the land, is abundn
and the quality generally fine. The rust has male 1
its appearance in but few fields, and few more have
been slightly injured by the smut; bnt we can nos
safely pronounce the wheat crop of 1851 good ore
better than the crops in region Of 1919 or l05
1t is sad that for -four. wheat should be cut as SON
after the milk dough state possible. and for SOW
ing purposes as late as possible, there being graf
er tendency to produce spe and cheat when cut o.
fore fully matured.
Oats do not promise, at present. very well. although
there is yet time for oats to come out and do SOME
thing for cattle. Oats most commonly put
in too late and there is little doubt their yield sh
by seriously affected. In climate Fall oats WOn'
pay much better, in majority of cases, than SPn''
oats.
Rye is not cultivated among US to any consider
BILE extent. We have seen a few fields, and under
stand that the crop is fair one. Rye is manel
and is generally cut before this.
Corn is now waking up, on the good land, ngF
rious green, and the blades are keen and waTn!
standing mp " fresh and ne about four feet in height
We can predict from our recent good pushing seasons
copious cribsful next winter, and an abundance
fodder for all sorts of cattle.
The stand of Cotton in the fields we have seen
is good the seed coming up unusually well-in iaf'
it stands too thick to thrive in most places. THIS

but poor appearance until next month. 1t is mo"
shabby in starting than any other crop. Our se'
cotton is now foot high, and will show bIoOn'
choice spots. by the first of July.
The field Pea is now put in and up, and will sOO'
go in for the cornstalks in proper style. We na''
noticed that the pea has good effect in pre'en"DS

Tobacco is not raised for export to much exten'p
Wake. but from the Counties bordering Wake .,
the North and Northwest, large quantity is car'''
to Petersburg and Richmond every year, and henr.
it is sent abroad and sold as TIrgnia Tobacco. wv
learn that the weed has been transplanted, and "''
the stands are generally good. Farmers endeaVOl :"
