State OF the Crops, sc.

poets Tor Crops, &C., in many of the States,
as we find them spoken OF in our exchanges.
Everything now indicates an abundant har-
vest, aud a season of plenty; no, only of
gram, but of fruit, and all the valuable pro.
ducts OF the earth. 1t is pleasant to be able
| to lay before our readers these encouraging
statements, and we trust that what they
promise will be fully realized at harvest.
In our own State, accounts from all quar-.
tiers agree in representing the prospect of a.
bundan, crops of grain, fruit, sc. In Mon
ongalia and Preston counties, much more
than the usual quantity of seed was put in
the ground, and the growth has been gene
rally good. Harvest has commenced, and
wheat is turning out well. Oats will be
very good, though considerably injured by
the late heavy rains. Corn is very promis-
ing. The Halifax Advocate says" Oats
are heading well, and the prospect is fair
for more than an average crop. Corn and
tobacco are in rapid growth, and large
crop Of both are looked forward to with
much certainty. An ample quantity of fruit
is now beyond question.
In New York "the prospects Of the wheat
crop are improving, and now promise fair
yield. The damage by insects is not great
as it was feared it might be. and the crops
promise fully an average yield.
Vermont-Recent rains have given new
life and beauty to vegetation and crops, and
dispelled the fears of drought entertained by
many. The amount of grain and potatoes
planted is one-thrd greater than usual, and
there are indications OF an abundant harvest
Misunderstanding rains and fine growing
weather have brought forward the grain and
grass beautifully, and there is every prospect
OF bountiinl crops. Maine never had so
much seed in the earth before.
Ncw Jersey.-Corn, which has been very
backward, now assumes more healthful ap.
pearance, and gives cheering promise
Oats will give more than an average yield
Wheat, notwithstanding being cut by the fly,
! will give over an average crop. Potatoes
promise we'll. Pasture is short.
Ohio.-Crops never looked better in the
State Of Ohio and the prospect is that there
will be the larges, yield ever known in that
State.
Pennsylvania A Accounts from different
| portions of the State differ with respect TO
the probable yield of grain, &c, but taking
the State throughout, the yield will be fully
an average one. Corn and oats will turn
out much Better than wheat. Grass has not
entirely recovered from the drouh of last
| Summer, and is, in many sections, short but
in others again it is very heavy. We learn
that much fine wheat has been cut, during
the past ten days, in the adjoining county Of
| Greene. Oats will be unusually abundant
in that county. Fruit trees are bending I'M
der their loads.
MaryGnd Harvest has commenced, and
the yield is about an average one. The
wheat crop, on the Eastern shore, has been
much Frustrated and injured recently by a
! violent thunder storm, which passed over a
large extent of country. Much OF the grain
will rot on the ground ...
Dclaware. The Farmers are vieing with
each other in the quantity and quality of
their grain, which will be abundant Veg
| etables and grasses are flourlshing.
Illinois Wheat, corn and oats promise
a heavier yield than has been gathered for
many years. The State Register says, "he
| breadth of these various crops is far greater
than ever before attempted, and if no mis-
fortune should interfere, we may expect all
our farmers to make their fortunes this year.
Wisconsin.-A gentleman who has recent
ly travelled much in the central counties Of
the State says he has never seen the crops
so promising during his ten years residence
| in 1t. Bountilul crops are counted on in ey-
cry county in the State.

Georgid.-The wheat crop turned out well,
and new -four is coming into use. Oats and
corn promise large yields. The season has
been uniavorable for cotton, so that it is
poor, but this failure is more than made up
in plentiful crops of grain.
