Tie corn crop we fear may turn out bad For
what was planted when the rains set in, will
doubtless have to be replanted, and the season

THE CORN CROP.

The late rains have prevented the planting of
corn in the northern part OF this St,te.-We
understand our farmers are quite discouraged
in consequence, and fears are entertained lest
this crop can not now be got into the ground in
time to ensure its maturity before the autumn
fress In Southern Illinois where the planting
was over before the rain set in, the seed has
generally rotted in the ground, and almost ev-
cry field will have to be replanted. We make

roads have on the wealth Of the sections through
which they are located. In comparing the census Of
Massachusetts Of 1910 with that Of 1850, several
facts found showing the influence Of the railway.
The value Of the State doubled in that period, going
from $500 900 900 to 5000 900 900; say doubled,
because the census returns indicate, but had We
said trebled, it would probably be nearer right, for,
as men grow rich the apt they to conceal
the amount Of their wealth. Among other things no.

towns in which the population did not increase from
lS40 TO 1850. They all agricultural towns, not
enjoying railway facilities. A number Of these rural
laces contained more inhabitants in 1880 even, than
they did in 1850 This fact may be accounted for by
the fact that, railways built, the tendency
Of population 10 their immediate lines.
The effect Of railways is still greater in the West
States, where they have opened the wild lands to
sale at very large per centage over the government
price. Along the line Of the Illinois Central Rail
road every acre Of Government land not claimed by
the company, has been taken up by spectators and
settlers at $3.50 FER Few years since it
could have been given away, and ten years hence
probably some Of it will be worth fifty hun
