letters in reply to a circular issued by that pa
per requesting information respecting the crops
in the different States and Territories. The fol.
lowing is a summary of the information received,
find it presented by our interchangeable con-
temporary of the Richmond Dspatch:
Kentseky.- The drought has been gencral.-
Corn. in the hog and cattle growing districts,
cut short upon an average ofono bali. The pork
and beef market will be affected by this TO very
great extent Tobacco will not make more than
two thirds of a crop. Hemp crop viii perhaps
make from half 10 two-thirds Of crop. Grass,
wheat, and oat crops are not more than a supply
for home consumption.
Ioina-Nheat and corn crops greater than
the average OF former years; but, in view Of the
large immigration TO Iowa, it is believed she can
furnish but little grim for expectation.
Minnesota 7frriiory.-Al the cereals and
esculcnts have matured finely, and yiel ded
large crops The wheat crop will reach
about ES.oUO bushels; corn about $1,000 to
$1,000 bushels; potatoes very large and OF
choice quality, 100000 bushels. Large yield OF
cranberrie~ tnrnps, rutnbagas and pumpkins
The turnp aud rutabaga crop is expected to
reach 400, 900 bushels; but is mostly fed to their
cattle during winter
Hiseonsin.-Crops very good, but no pnrtcu
lars yet given.
Ptnnsgluanid.-Itis believed there will be
average crop of corn unless before it is housed
il should be injured by some other causes besides
drought Fair crops of oats aud OF everything
else except POTATOES, which will be much less
than an average. The Ierald- correspondent
mvokes the Know Nothings not 10 eat potatoes,
because they are Irish and their abstinence
would be an act of grace 10 great many poor
devils who are otherwise likely to go without
"Murrhys."
Deiapare. Corn and wheat crop shortened
one third; oat crop and first hay crop very good
Potatoes q total failure. Iii crop, however
little cultivated in Delaware.
Nem Jerseg.--Taking the whole crop together
there will this year be fair average crop.
pirgiaia. Col. Munford writes il us his opin-
ion, that IF you take the line of railroads run
ming through Virginia from North TO South
that i-.the Richmond Fredericksburg and Poto-
mac, aud the Richmond and Danyille Railroad
to the North Carolina line, as II general rule the
weather very seasonable and below this
line To the Seaboard, the crop very
good-more than an average crop. There Is but
little cotton now grown in the State, and the pc
tato crop, which is for export, is mostly grown in
this section. 1t is all good. FRI IN the line
thus delineated YOU must deduct all that portion
of Virginia which is called the Northern Neck
in which the drought very severe, and the
corn crop almost entire failure. In some of
the counties in this State the farmers are now
buying corn Tor lhtlr next year supply, anu II
i selling at from four 10 five dollars IA barrel. In
most of the State, above the line designated, the
drought has been severe, and the corn crop will
be greatly below an average crop-somc shy
not half crop, but suppose tins to be too low
an estimate
Mr.. Willoughby Newton,in a letter to the Rich
mond Wing agrees with the opinion of Col. Mum
ford.
North Carolina-Mr. John S. Dancy, of
L H., Ia
count the season in that region. Corn crop, ont
crop and sweet potatoes uncommony fine. Hog
crop fully an average one, and the greatest nbun
dance of peas and pumpkins. The growing
cotton crop will make 100000 bales, the largcst
ever made in the county
JermOnt.-lav about two thirds, md wheat,
rye, oai- aud barley, three quarters OF the nnnu-
al average yield. Early planted eornupon good
lund will yield two thirds Potatoes half crop.
More potatoes planted and moro spring grain
sown this than the last year, which will to some
extent compensate the deficiency in the yield.
Rhode ISidnd.-Crops OF all kinds fair. Mr..
W. l.. Hill, in letter to the Boston Times,
peats his estimate which he had previously given
in the New York Herdid that the ciops of wheat
rye and barley in the three Southern New Eng
land States will be about full average and those
in the three Northern States nearly an average.
The Herdid has still to hear from the greut
wheat and corn growing regions comprised in
the States of Indiana, Illinois Missouri, Mich.
gan and Tennessee, besides most of the South
and Southwestern States. 1t congratulatcs its
readers on the more cheering prospects which
the letters ofts correspondents generally present.
The opinion is expressed that the deficiency
which exists in the crops of wheat and Indian
corn in some of the States will be III measure
made up by the abundant supplies expected from
the British provinces, particularly from Upper
Canada, which is fine wheat growing region,
and the crops of which, this year, it is said, have
yielded larger returns than on any former year.
We annex the following from the Herald:
The crops of the L. States, according to the
census of 1850 were as follows for the year 1919,
since when there has been large increase, from
the additional lands placed under cultivation,and
the Improvements in agriculture within the last
five years, viz:
