RAls-THE CRoPs.--The fine showers Of the
past week have been invaluable to the farmer.
They came too late to save the wheat, which will
not make anything like half an average In the Val.
ley The fate of that crop, indeed, was In great
measure decided by the drought Of last fall Much
Of the seed failed to germinate. From most other
in the southern and eastern counties things look
somewhat better.
Corr has now good start. We may hope that
this year win reverse the case Of the last when a
good wheat crop made up for the failure of corn
