CROP PROSPECTS.

We continue 70 receive accounts Of the prospects
Of the farmer for the sessor from various paris of
the country. From Barry County, Mich. we hear
through The Pioneer that Whe.t never pro niset
fairer than it does nov. Ii Is magnificent beyond
description covering the ground MY all over With
rich prousion of It's rack growiog vitality. Grass

the forests, gives the cattle prolific range for sus.

prospects Of the busbaudinan. 10 all p-rts of the
State OF Michigan the prospect seems about the s7me
From Wisconsin We have most fattsiing scc,unu
through papers and leters But little winter wheat
Ii killed and the fields generally wear vigorous sp-
pearance. In ties il is said tn whsst is
more promising than 81 any previous time since the
country settled. Spring wheat, TOO, is largely
sowD, ard bee Ls TO lo'k green large area is be-
ing sovn. The whole prospect Of Wisconsin, farms
appears very good.
In Inoians, n e season though backward for grass,
has been favorable for spring powiog, and an unusu
ally large pumber of acres viii be planted. nJeouogs

In that secton Of the state, the wheat very badly

section of the State is very f.tteriog Apples plums
is propressipg rapidly and 10 q very large extent
In Ohio, particularly near the Ohio River, the
wheat upon the rolling lands is spoken OF wearing
avefy furnishing appesiatce. In Highland County
the crop is spoken of in f4uerng The weather
in april unusually warm, III ugh rather too dry
for grass and email grain. Take the State through,
81 accounts the prospects Of the eason
are better thsp usual The present bigh prices stna'
late farmers to plant all the acres they can. There
are grest many more laborers eng sged this season
than have been for many years before, in ting the
coil More spring wheat than usual will be so1n this
wear in Ohio, and caulatiops are makiog for mon

IN Ohio is spoken OF in ia,teriug terms all over the
State, 30 far can Judge except peaches IN the
North part Of the State, where the buds are killed,

Gel temen from different parts Of this State, and OF
lnoisha who bear almost unbroten evidences OF tue
fine appearance Of the young crop OF wheN that Is
coming
From Tennessee, we have the h,ttering intelligence
that in in the of the State wheat never pre-
septed more pr omspg appearance than it does nov.
gentleman writing from Westmore'and County,
Va, (cn the Northern Neck OF Va which has lately
become great wheat growing country, says be never
cav better prospect for good crop
In Nev-York, accounts continue favorable. In all
the central coundes, the prospect is very good The
Pc fliuka breadth
sown is oneiourth larger thsn at any former period
The Ontario Republican says, speaking Of wheat:
1t is Of such luIuriant sud vigorous growth that
many Of farmers think it beyond dang n from tbs
weevil. We are glsd to learn, sso that more acre,
were sowed 10 wheat last fsn than usual and that QUE
farmers are making arrangements to appropriate
moie lsrd to spring crops
The Lancaster Penn Herald, OF May ,, says:
"rhe appearance Of the whes'.felds have under
gone great change for thu better within the last
lev dsys and the fSmers speak eDcourasinsy Of the
pros poet shesd. The erase Is ls0 growing finely
ane II the present favorable weather continues, there
will be sn abundance food for both IN and beast
We DO not presume that pricss viii 90 down to the
old standard tor several years TO come, even if the
crops Of al kinds should be large
We are Of the same opinion. We must have q
succe scion of good crops to get back to an abundant
supply ard low rates. There is every prospect be-
fore the farmer TO encourage hin In his labor Even
another drouh should not dbesrten him. since II has
brought ,ucb an increase OF prices.
We have every resson 10 believe tass the high
prices of grain have proved an inducenent to
farmers ali over the United States to Increase the
production to the utmost ex.ent OF their soly undeT
their defective mode Of culuvshon and We are sats
fed that If all the ground wss plo Fed only one
inch deeper this sprng it woulo 'suse such an add
