1t is scarcely of any further use to write
Of the crops. From every section we have
the same story of an abundant and unusual
yield.-CM Dem.
That may be a general truth, but there
arc exceptions. There have within two
weeks been many thousand acres of spring
wheat in this country utterly destroyed 10y
the fly and chnch bug. We have reports
of the ravages Of this insect from at least
third of the country. noble field Of wheat
belonging to DR., Rowland, lying some three
miles south Of this city was utterly destroy
cd week ago by this bug, and after de
stroying the wheat they attacked an adj
joining corn field, which will probably share
the same fate. DR.. H. showed US spear of
corn some two feet in length, upon which
were at least ten thousand of these vianous
animalcula. Fortunately they came too late
for winter wheat and the earlier spring, but
the later wheat and corn and oats will suffer
severely in many parts Of this county.
