TIE COMING Harvest AND ITS EFFECTS
The Cincinnati Columbian, June ~; says =
We have watched with much interest me conG'-
ZION of the crops and the probable effects to be
axnected from the coming harvest We have
~ ;of,rmation from all parts Of the country, and
can from pretty correct estimate OF what the
Wheat crop is likely to be. Two facts may be
regarded as fxed-that the growth of the wheat
cr9p has been remarkably good, and that In the
IsrGe wheat States the breadth ofground sown Is
NOT SO much as usual. These two facts may be
taken as counter balancing one another-the re-
suit will probably be full average crop. we
see that many persons expect more than tins, anc
are looking cut for an enormous whea! crop. Sucl
expectations will hardly be realised.
Most persons have not considered where ths
great localities of wheat are, and what are the re
lative proportions of the several States. We hear
for example, that the wheat in Georgia is admir-
able, and that the fields Of Illinois are teemng
But il must be recoected that Georgia produce
very little wheat, and Illinois only about as mucI
as Ohio. The great wheat States are Ohio
Penusy lvania and Virginia. If there be an aver
are crop, then these three States will produce 4
bout the following amounts:
Ohio, $4,000, 900 bushels.
Pennsylvania, 100000 -
Virginia. l4,OOO,OO0
