crops which Tie journal says not correct The general
expression that the yield will be less than the general
average Wheat is thin and not promising The freshets
in the Wabash valley did serious injury.
TIE Journal thinks four-ffhs OF its exchanges speak
despondingly of the wheat crop.
Chicago May &c.. The spring wheat in the country ad-
iacent to this city looks beautiful There is not much
winter wheat growing but fields look well wherever 1t
seem Corn is coming up we'll and it never fails in this
state to make good crop
Tie CLicagO TriJune says the railroads centerlng
in this city were unablet accommodate the ireghting
business which pressed upon them after the last
harvest and thinks the prospect equally good Tor large
freehts of grain this year. Let it come, want 1t all
and more too.

particularly in Illinois, promises the largest yield ever
known.

prospects of farmers in that County aatterins. SO
they were last spring. but blasted before fall by the

In ewEngland generally so far as we have heard,
the prospect for grass and crops generally Is very proms
ing There much apprehension, however, about fruit
In this vicinity the canker worm and caterpillar have made
their appearance in great nunbers and many be-
ginning show the destructive effects Of their ravages
the leaves being consumed and the tops of the wear
ing the appearance OF having been scOrced with fire. We
also learn that the palmer Ia sort ofgeners frege
deadly foe 10 fruit trees, is making its reappearance in
Massachusetts, and fruit-growers are obliged TO
destroy all infected trees to proven; the from reach
ing others.
