The CRoPs AND THE PROSPECTS,
The attention of the people is generally
directed to the incoming crops, and the
inquiry is frequent, whats the pros
poets of the wheat and corn?" To
meet this, we give below reports from
various parts ofthe country.
In central Ohio there will be more
than an average wheat crop. In Knox
and Licking there is considerable croak-
ing about the weevil, but this prevails
only in small parts of those Counties
From Delaware, Mukingum, Franklin,
Champaign, Union, &C., the accounts
are favorable. In Crawford, Richland,
Ashland, Wayne, Stark, &C., wheat
never looked better.
In Southern Ohio, the indications are
that there will be prolific yield. Some
few fields have suffered from rust, but
it generally promises well. Potatoes
are doing well every where we have
heard from.
In Indiana all the crops bid fair. In
some places the violent rains have done
considerable damage to the wheat, but
what has proved slightly injurious to
that has been highly beneficial to other
crops.
WINCHESTER, VA, June 22d.-A
traveller through several portions of
Virginia and Maryland informs us that
the improvement in the wheat crop,
within the last two weeks, seems to be
beyond description. In fields which
about the middle of May did not prom
ise more than the seed, the improvement
has been magical, and very fair yield
may now be expected, unless some
blighting change should take place be-
tween this and harvest. Corn, oats,
vegetables. every thing, now give prom
ise of abundance.
PEMscoT COUNTY, Mo-, June 10TH
The promise of good crops were never
better. Indeed, corn looks as well as
can be desired. The same may be said
of oats, potatoes, &c.
ERIE AND Huron COUNTIES, o., June
25th.-Wheat looking fair and promis-
ing a good yield. Some places the vice.
vii has done harm, but as far as we
could learn, the injury is not general
Corn is looking, in many places, very
poorly, in consequence Of the continued
wet weather.
CAMBRIDGE, MARYLAND, June 20th.-
The recent heavy rains and winds
which we had, have nearly laid the
wheat crops fat to the ground, which
will be great loss, as it will be matter
of impossibility to save more than one
half Of their fields.
WHEELING, Va, June 23.-We have
Travelled within few days. several hun
dred miles through the State of Ohio,
and have observed at almost every point
the most cheering prospect for crops
We are convinced that the yield of
wheat in this State will this year be
much larger than it has been for many
years. Most of the fields will be ready
for harvesting in the course of eight or
ten days. The late heavy rains have
not, so far as we have observed, done
any material damage.
MAYsvILLE, KY, June 23.-WHEAT
AND CoRN.--We hear on all sides the
most favorable accounts of the condition
of these great staples. There are evil
dences of abundance all over the land.
NASHVILLE, TENN.-Our farmers
have had delightful weather for harvest
ing their wheat crop, and have taken
advantage of it with alacrity. We un-
derstand that the yield is unusually
large, which taken in connection with
the increased breadth Of land occupied,
insures an ample supply of flour the
coming season at reasonable prices.
AUGUSTA, MAIEE.--According to the
latest advices from New Brunswick, all
the crops are in a prosperous condition.
The Augusta Banner says: ''Maine
never had so much seed in the earth be-
fore at one time, and the prospect is most
promising for bountiful crops"
TExAs.-Texas now rejoices in the |
confident hope of realizing most abun-
dant crop, especially of corn and pota-
toes, which, after all, are the great crops
the great source of prosperity. EN-
igrants intending to cast in their lots
among US may safely calculate upon pro-
curing all articles necessary for the sup
port of their families, cheap, for the
coming season, as the harvest in Texas
must be most abundant one.
LOUISVILLE, KY., June 26.--Should
rains cease now in this great wheat belt
of Northern Ohio, Indiana and Illinois,
and the month of July be as favorable
for corn as it usually is, the yield oil
