ths growing crops Is Oh deelaea interest
We give telOw items from our exchanges
relative to the prospects in different sec
tiOns Of the country. In this locality 1t
Is settled beyond doubt that there will not
be over one half the usual crop Of wheat.
The weevil. is at work among it, though
not as much lit was last year. Fields
sowed with Mediterranean have escaped its
ravages thus far, and are now considered
out of danger. In other varieties the
weevIl is as bal as ever, except in fields
that were sown early. The oat crop
viii he very large. Corn looks we'll
there is every prospect of large yield.
The cold, wet weather kept it back, but
it is now making up for lost time rapid
,ly. Potatoes look very fine-neyer bet
ter.
With a half crop Of wheat and every
thing else in abundance, we think the
Lard times" must ease up trille. Our
farmers, learning wisdom from the total
failure OF last year, did not sow much
wheat, and consequently are not, as here
tolore, entirely dependent upon that crop.
They have given more attention to stock,
and have sown larger quantities of other
grains, and even should there be an entire
failure of the wheat, there will be some
thing left to bring onoy into the country.
All things considered, we believe the good
times are coming.
WHEAT IN Central OHo.-The Urbana
Gazette says of the wheat thereabout -
After all the croaking apprehensions in
regard to the wheat crop, we are now salts
fed that we shall have a fair average crop
in Campaign, unless some disaster over
takes it between this and harvest. In this
neighborhood the wheat never looked better
and a gentleman who has travelled good
deal over the county assures us that he never
saw the wheat fields look better at this
season. A field here and there may have
been injured, hut as general thing the crop
