I'te CTOpS.-N NOTWITHSTANDING the discourage
ing yield of the last two crops, there was prob
ably about the usual quantity Of Wheat sown
in this County last Fall. This crop generally
looks well, but the fly is beginning its ravages
in many parts and will probably destroy much
of the late sowed Wheat.
/ Corn was planted sorle two or three weeks
later than usual, but the weather for a few
weeks past has been highly favorable to its rap
id growth.
Oats look well, and there is prospect of an
abundant crop, and consequence reduction of
the present high prices.
The grass crop-one of the first Importance
in this County-will be decidedly above an ay-
erage quantity.
Apples viii be much less abundant than last
year, stated, by the plentiful yield of Peaches
Altogether, 1853 promises to be fruitful
year, yielding generous returns to all well direc
ted labor, and adding tc the stability and pros
perity of the Independent tiller5 Of the earth.
-Wyandot, County, O., Pioneer.)
We spent couple of days riding through
different sections of this County. From our
observation we should say that the Wheat is a
full crop, many fields seen. The prospect for
Corn is indeed promising; it is all of that dark
green color 50 truly indicating health and rapid
growth. Many farmers say their Corn never
was better at this season. We saw but few
fields of Oats, but these looked we'll.
There will be an abundance of fruit of all
kinds, Henry County will have a large a
mount of produce to send way, and from pres
ent indications we may expect fair prices
New Castle Ia, Courier.
The long drought has proven most disastrous
to the Dat crop throughout Jacksons purchase.
Many farmes will not be able to save as much
as it took to sow the ground. The corn crop,
in some places, looks tolerably well, though it
is very low, and unless it rains very soon, it
will be too late to do any good. The Tobacco
crop is cut short fully two-thirds, admitting that
it Immediately become seasonable; and unless
we have rain very soon there will not be
fourth of crop made. Many farmers have
planted their Tobacco ground in Corn tor want
of plants, or desparing of timely season for
planting. The intelligence received from near
/ " all sections Of the States Of Kentucky Nlr-
/ ginia, Maryland, and Tennessee, gives sad ac-
counts Of the prospects Of the crops-eSpecal-
" the Tobacco crop-and from all We can
/ learn it must without doubt fall short fully
one-half this year. Paduach Democrat.)
We visited the country in the early''pa5t ofthis
week, and found that the weevil is making
great ravages among the Wheat heads are full
/ Of them, and the kernel, so far as we investi-
gated, is, in most instances nearly all eaten out.
1t is to be hoped they are not 50 bad through
out the County. They can work but short
/ time to the injury of the Wheat, as when the
berry herdens they can affect 1t no longer
/ But if they are as plentiful elsewhere as the
! fields we exemined.-( New Lisbon Palladium.
! The Wheat harvest commenced in Northern
! Indiana last week, and this week the fields are
! filed with Graders and binders. We saw gen.
| tleman, Yesterday; from La Port, who says the
! splendid farms of that town and County never
! looked better. The fields of Wheat present
| scene of great beauty and almost magnficence.
! One farmer in La Port, has nine hundred acres
! in corn, and has cut fleece worth $5,0O0-

WEATHER CRoPs, &c.-We recur to these top
les with renewed satisfaction. From every
quart we receive intelligence of general par
ticpiation in the generous showers OF rain,
which we chronicled in our last There Is yet
time, we trust, for propit;ous seasons, to dlspel
the melancholy forebondingS of scarcity which
have until now, been lowering upon some OF
the most productive regions. With us there IS
every assurance of an ample provisions and
! fully average cotton crop.-Georgetown lines
Tie aceqtber-We are gratifed to state that
/ since our last, nearly every section OF our DIS
trict has received copious rains, and brighter
prospect is before our planters. 1t is generally
conceded that enough corn viii be made III the
District to supply all, although in many parts
not more than one bushel to the acre will be
reaisQd.-LaurenSyille Herald.
/ Reinstatement showers have been passing
about in various portions of our District, during
the last week, and the effect upon vegetation Is
/ happy indeed. We have strong hopes OF at
! least an average crop in our District. We feel
truly thankful for the refreshing seasons we
have enjoyed, as we learn from some of our ex-
changes, that the drought is still severe upon
some sections Of our and the adjoining States.
Sumterville Waterman.
The farmers Of this neighborhood have en-
tered upon the work Of gathering their Hay
and Wheat, with their accustomed energy
/ The Hay crop WILDE moderate Wheat unusual
ly light except in some fields. The prospect
for Oats is very diScouraging; Corn looks bet
ter on the bottoms than could be expected
through a severe drouth, but the crop must be
light; pasture is fast whitening away; Potatoes
lie stinted in the ground, and but little hopes
can be entertained of anything like full crop.
Dresden, o., Herald)
Frequent showers have tempered the heat of
last week Fears of the rust have haunted
many Wheat growers for some days, but the
straw keeps bright and SO does the prospects of
harvest. Hay will be H. hit generally. Corn is
doing wonderous, such as the sun and shower
alone can give it the faculty of doing Oats grow
finely now, and there is quite breadth of land
sown with them this season. Ashtabula Tel.
The editor of the GAINESVILLE Courier upon
recent trip through the counry was happily dis
appointed in finding the wheat crop much better
than expected.
The Memphis Wing says the prospect for a
fine fruit ere p is very promising in that section
of country. Cherries, plums, apples and black
berries are quite abundant, and early peaches
are fast ripening.
