some interesting statistics from counties
in Ohio;
Quo, September, 1854.
Allen C0.-Wheat, one.fth of ayernoo
crop; injured by insects. Corn, a fair
average. Oats, fair average. Barley
an average crop, but very little ever raised
Rye, fair average. Potatoes, very short
Hay, average. In the western port orthe
county the yield ofCorn will be GOOD while
in tie east it will be quite light.
Aag(al1e and Mercer C6S.-Wbeat NOT
more than enough for home consumption
Corn, an extra good crop. Oats, more
than good crop Barley, but little rails.
ed-an average crop. Rye, not much
grown; good. Hay, an excellent CROP.
Potatoes ordinary.
BrOton Co,-Wheat, rather below ordi.
nary crop. Corn, not one third the usual
growth. Oats, about ordinary. Barley,
none. Rye, midd,ng not much sown.
Potatoes very scarce. Hay pretty good,
but not first rate. Tobacco nearly a fail.
ure. Fruit about ordinary. Hops, not
over one fourth crop. In consequence of
extremely dry weather, Oats and Hay will
not be very plenty; these crops have been
necessarily very much encroached upon to
supply deficiency of pasturage, and stock
will be low from scarcity of fodder; it is
thonght by the best judges that a scarcity
is threatened never before experienced in
this county.
Butler CO.-Whea,, a fullaverage crop.
Corn, from one third to one half crop
Oats, an excellent yield. Barley, two
thirds Of a crop. Rye, not much grown.
Hay, good average crop. Potatoes not
moro Than one.louuh crop.
Cz1rk CoIuty.-Wheot not exceeding
half a crop. Corn, about two thirds aver.
age. Oats, full average. Barley not half
average. Rye, about two thirds crop
Potatoes, less than half crop. Hay,
say lwo.thirds crop. Buckwhea, promis.
es good harvest.
C2ermOnt CouHty.--Wheat, good grain,
and very Large yie'd. Corn promises
not over halfa crop. Oats, fair. Barley,
but little raised. Rye not very good
Hay, poor crop. Potatoes, not more than
one third average crop; injured by dry
weather; and the ground is now dry and
and unprodvcli,e for want of moisture.
Cra1eford County.-Wheat, an entire
failure. Corn, full crop. Oats, good av.
Qrage. Barley good, but little raised
Rye, the small quantity raised is good
Potatoes, one.lhird crop. Hay good yield.
The principal yield of the southern part Of
this county is in grazing, which is injured
by the present drought.
Delaloari CouHty.-Wheat full average.
Corn, about average. Oats, an unusually
large crop. Barley not much raised
Rye, but itle grown. Hay very heavy
crop. Potatoes, less than an average.
Fairfield Couaty.-Wheat below aver
age. Corn, holfcrop. Oats, large growth,
never better crop. Barley and Rye, but
little raised. Potatoes, hardly half crop.
Hay, tolerably good yield.
HanlHn Couaty.-Wheat, hardly sui-
ficient 10 supply the county market. Corn,
short, almost an entire failure. Oats,
Barley and Rye, below average, not much
sown. Potatoes, small and few in a hill.
Hay, an average crop, but dry weather
has made it of inferior quality.
Greene C0.-Whoat, average. Corn,
not ono.halfcrop. Barley, not much cul-
tivated, which may also be said of Rye.
Hay, good crop. Potatoes, almost to,
tai failure. In the vicinity Of Xenia, and
in the bottom lands of the county gener.
ally, the prospect has greatly changed
since the latter part Of July, and i is now
certain thai in some localities the crops
will be almost an entire failure, whilst IN
all the others by no means so large ayleld
rs was anticipated will be realized.
Hardin Couuty.--Wheat, scarcely one
third crop. Corn, almost an average
Oats, average. Barley and Rye, but 1T
ile cultivated. Potatoes not an average
crop +; injured by the rot. Hay, an aver,
age crop the first part Of the season. All
crops in the immediate vicinity have sui
fered of late by drought, and in general
nav be considered short.
Hehland Couaty.-Wheat nearly an
average crop. Corn might be called a
failure, perhaps will yield ono.iourh crop;
never was known 10 be so short. oats'
crop excellent, more than average. Barley
