Tur BACKWARD SPRING-We are not yet very
much alarmed at the backwarnees of Spring, because
We think We have several equally backward that
were followed by very fruitful Summers and there Is
no DENYING the fact that the cool wet weather OF April
and Nav has been the salvation Of the wheat crop,
which i. this day ten times more promising than was
about the first Of April.
A late puner Of The OhlO Farmer has some encour-
aging notes on the crops of wheat and fruit in that
state and it is too late TO plant con nor will is
be too late till near the middle OF june One item in
The Farmer says:
"Ihe fruit crop never promised better. There will
be superabundance IN nearly all parts OF the country
where there are trees. Two weeks since, the wheat
looked sicky but the recent rains have brought II
forward, and il now promises more than an average
CROP The probabilities are, that the yield Of the
coming harvest will be unusually large. In inc
northern part of Ohio very little is yet planted;
the weather has been too wet and cold; and to-day
l2et, the woods give no more indication OF Spring
than they did in January"
A CORES pendent in Warren County o., says:
THE Winter wheat looks well. Fruit trees are N
bloom, with a prospect OF plenty OF rult. sprung
backward, and pastures short
Another in Stark County, o., says:
"The wheat is now improving rapidly, and that
which was very early sOwn will probably yield vel:
The later sown does not look rs well a. usual ana
from present indications do not think we WIZ get an
average CROP even if not injured by weevil. Grass
and grain aie backward, but improving"
In Charlottesville tIndana DIR. X. T. Brown says;
"Wheat looks well it'll us, though IL is small nosth
Of Lafayette o. vi" so I%Hfn It was not saceny
protected by from the hard weather OF January,
and consequently suffered. The fruit prospect is very
fattering.'
Two oiher correspondents speak nov so encourag-
ngly. One says of Trumbul County, Ohio:
Wheat is very unpromisng in this neighborhood.
he ruif Ii
ming TO blossom but it is cold to day that overcoats
and nittens are necessary out OF doors.
HOLMES CoUSTY.-Wheat in this vicinity looks very
sickly though there fields which look quite
promising. Much of the upland wheat is Winter and
Sprng-ked Farmers have just finished sowing oats.
No corn planted yet. The weather cold and wet,
MAY ll Food for stock very scarce and no pasture
as yet; fields beginning to look green. The prospect
of an abundance of fruit good though the late fross
have killed some Of the peach-bossoms.
In the vicinity of New-fork we have not much
wheat to report upon, but we have grass and that
looks remarkably luIuranti and fruit, too, Is quite
r.omising We shall undoubtedly have an abundance
of straw berries and peaches-apples have not yet de-
yeloped themselves-the trees are very backward;
and 80 are all sorts of work but If powed up and
seed planted, shall yet have "a growing season
According to the law of equation Of temperature,
we have in store some screening not Wedtner thht
will make plants grow with sort of tropical luIur-
ance. A correspondent at Little Falls, New-York,
writes May 20;
cit continues cold here with occasional frosts, and
the prospects for corn crops unavorabe. Vegeta-
ton is very backward trees have not yet leaved out,
ana there barely sufficient grass to keep our stock;
though mOet of dairymen were compelled 70 turn
out their cows days ago. there Is little or no
hay in the county and when our Spring sowing shall
have been completed, there will be but little gram
left. Many farmer, in February, supposed they
would have from ten to twenty tuns OF hay TO 81 INNER
over. but during the present month hay and straw
stacks have been swept Of Is if by magic. The
prospect for the fruit crop good though mice have
been very destructive to young fruit trees Many hne
orchards have been badly injured and some COM
petey ruined and il il not sight by any means
70 see forest trees of considerable size, which have
been get out by the road side stripped OF their bark
for two feet or more from the ground. Very little
Spring grain was sown until last week. We are now
having soaking rain"
While the above has been waiting chance FOR
insertion very great change has been wrought in this
quarter by few days of fervid sun. Everything is
still late but is coming rapidly forward, 50 that
month hence the earth may show no trace Of the
cold Spring of 1857.
