The Crops. Grain. &c.

crop in that regions
1t is true that in this region, and in some |
others, the autumn wheat has been in agreat
measure destroyed by the frost; but we do
not think there is any necessity Of speaking
so mournfully Of it as some people do. An
immense extent Of ground has been sown this
spring, and the wheat sown has grown
rapidly. The farmers continue to plow in
the fields that were sown last autumn and
sow them anew. We may safely calculate
that the wheat crop Of 1857 will exceed that
of 1856 at least 25 per cent. We conversed
yesterday with an intelligent farmer in the
environs of our city. He said that around
him, within radious Of three miles from
his farm, there had been sown at least fifteen
acres Of spring wheat, and that on each
quarter section in this part Of the State,
they had sown at least sixty acres. The
sun is in an excellent condition for the seed,
although the season may appear little adj
vanced. The quality Of the seed employed
has never been better than this year; in
word all even here show us we should hope
for an abundant harvest.
MARESeo, IL1.,--The spring wheat in
this vicinity looks well and is growing finely.
The winter wheat did not suffer much from
cold weather last winter. Fair crops may
be expected this season. Marcngo Jour

MADISON, Wis.--We have COW ersed with
farmers from various sections ofthe country,
within the last few days, and they do not
believe in despairing of good crops in spite
of the weather, Large quantities Of wheat

through Upper Canada, informs us that no.
thing can exceed the promise Of the wheat
crop there, and unless some evil, now unex-

WABASH, IND, May l4.-In reference
|, TO the prospects OF the Wheat crop in this
county, the present season, would state
that have made dilligent inquiry Of the
farmers as 10 the prospects, and they say
. that the prospect is not so good now as i
: was in the month Of February, for at thai
| time we never had better prospect; bu
& the cold, freezing weather since has injured
it very materially. In some localities ther,
will not be over crop, and in others i
