THE GROWING. WHEAT,

The accounts from various sections Of the country
Of the condition of the wheat crop being generally
coored with a somber hue. might induce the casual
observer 70 imagine that We are going Ia have a gen.
uine famine There is no such prospect In fact. il
is almost ont Of the question for 4 general famine
ever 10 occur in the United States owing to the great
diversity q climate soil. and productions, aud iacili
ties of ntercholge between the various sections.
According to tie most careful observations that we
can mske by an examination OF all that is said by
exchanges and correspondents upon the sub Of the
crop now undergoing harvest or already secured al
the South; now ripenng in the Middle States; now
beginning 10 head out in the Northern ones; now
putting the green livery of promise to the Cana
dian farmer; We have come 10 the conclusion that
the general crop of the United States will be fair
average one.
In Ohio Indiana and Ilinos. particularly the southern
parts Of those States the wheat inuredby winte
killing. In Michigan that partially the case; yet
in all those States unless the grain is destroyed by
rust or blight Notwithstanding the 1g has committed
seine ranges. there will be wheat raised than
will be needed for home consumption.
In the lower part Of Virginia the wheat has been
seriously destroyed By the jointworm, aided by the
fy Ii some couniies-Tauquier. for instancc-th0
destruction has been very serious and, if il had pre-
vailed all over the State to the same extent We
should have very few quotations OF Virginia flour
this year.

counted in tie wheat growing tAey have made
great crops this year.
In Iowa ind Wisconsin all accounts concur in say

but the prospect is fair, aud they never had finer

proved il 10 good advantage.
In our own State We think shall make good

A letter iu,t received from an Intelligent gentleman

encouraging; that high prices have stimulated them

The Eastern States not wheat growing ones. but
such crops as they 90 grow are promising, AL viii

induce farmers to bring tie crop early ato markct.
We 10 not expect that wheat or -four will be as
