HARVEST PROSPECTS.

CROPS IN WESTERN SEw.YORK-THE WHEAT MIDGE.
A letter from Carkson, n. Y, states that Wheat
promises better yield than anticipated but ow-
ing TO the loss by the Wheat Nudge, much smaller
quantity than usual sown. 1t is thought in that
neghborhood that lime sown upon the fields while
the heads are moist with dew rain will efectually
prevent the ravages of this insect Strips left through
the field without lime were destroyed, while the lined
grain remained uninjured.
Rye and Oats look admirable, aud potatoes are
without precedent-some fields are maturing fast
Corn is generally backward OF apples, judging
from present appearances there will be the largest
Weld ever grown in that section Of the State. Other
huit is abundant, except peaches, which are no
where
FROM The NoRrH.-A letter. dated Keesevile,
July IL, 1855, says:
All the good farming land in Essex and Clinton
Counties is fairly groanng under the loads OF wheat,
rye oats grass and potatoes. The corn crop Is back
ward but if the present favorable weather continues
through this and the next month II Will be an average
crop. The advice given b. The TRIBUNE, to plant
one acre more has been well needed in this region,
NAV be seen by looking at the hillsides TO see them
covered with something green where no crops ever be-
fore grew. The iron and nall manufacturers are oOA.
ING for an end to these starvation prices OF Provisions
THE Harvest IL NEwJERsEY is almost univer-
sallv good In some sections where the wheat is
shot the rye and other grain is excellent We hear
of farmers who did raise grain enough last year to
supply their own wants who will have surplus OF
thousand bushels this year.
In South jersey there is great crop Of peaches on
the trees but very few in the north part of the State
GEORGIA AND TENNESSEE WHEAT.-Ihe Atlanta
GA Tufclligencer 18th inst, under the caption of
- An avalanche of Bread" says:
Yesterday there were 100 loaded with new
wheat at Chattanooga ready to move, and the depot
crammed to its utmost capacity. Two trains day ar
rive al Chattanooga by the Nashville Road and It was
estimated Yesterday that there were stored IN that town
80 OCO bushels of wheat exclusive OF that IN store Dy
our road. From Chattanooga down to Eihwah the
dopots are all full to bursting On the 9th there were
received at Calhoun 1000 bushels, aud the hands
could not knock of their loading tall II O'Clock az
night Mai Young, the Agent at Calhoun, thinks
that from his depot alone he VIII ship 100 900 bqSnes
during the season. To-day five full trains viii be
down and we suppose each will contain 100 sacks.
1.-THE rush of this description of freight has been I'M
pTecedented caused as We learn by the oer oil New
York mers to give Al 25 tor all wheat delivered al the
depot 10y the lOth and at Charleston and Savannah by
the 18th of this month";
This is a very different state Of things from that
which prevailed four or five years ago. when Mr. Pc
tiers bought Michigan wheat, AMI shipped it to Ssvan-
nah and up the railroad to his mIs at Atlanta.
PorAroEs.-We have never seen or heard of
prospect of greater crop of potatoes than at this
time One large grower told us yesterday that he e1-
pected to see potatoes sell in this City at 25 cents
bushe this Fail One farmer in Jefferson County, we
are told has acres growing finely as he ever saw
in that county. He does not expect that potatoes IN
that county will be over u OF l6 cents a bushcL
A friend writes rs from Chicago that lie has just
made long journey through Illinois, and everywhere
the large fields of potatoes noticeable, promising
crest Weld. And from dozen other places in different
sections of the country letters give the same account
Farmers must make up their minds that potatoes
this wear will be 30 low that they can afford to feed
some Of them 10 the pigs.
