The Summer is over, and We arc now able TO
Dive some tolerable estimate Of the Harvest Ior
I.j7. The growth Of Grace throughout the dairy
regions has been luxuriant; Pasturage has been
abundant throughout very large yield Of Hay has
been secured-not in the best order-and full
supply of Fall feed is beyond contingency. There
must be full product OF Butter and Cheese,
though The number of Cows was probably less
last Spring than hitherto. Sheep also had soma
what fallen off, so that the years product of Wool
and Mutton, as well as Beef can have been but an
average one Rye was a full crop. Wheat sut-
fered from Winter rains and freezing out and con-
sideraty from the weevil or mdge; but great deal
was sown aud in many portions Of the West, eS-
pecialy in the newest settlements, the yield was
abundant. The Southern crop was uniformly good;
and, on the whole, we belieTe the surplus Of this
years product will be unusually large, though the
Wheat culture seems to be gradually running out in
this and othtr of the oder States. Potatoes have
suffered considerably from rot especially in this
vicinity, where the last rain and the succeeding
heat have renewed the ravages Of The insdious dis
ease. However, We are 60 used to the rot that the
yield Of Potatoes, though small may be equal to
an average of the last ten years.
The Cane is reported as doing very well il Louis.
lana ard Texas, and promising Sugar crop at least
double that Of last year. A double yield of Maple
Sugar was obtained last Spring and considerable
amount of Syrup, if not of Sugar, will be made
from the Sorghum, though the season in this vcin-
ty was the least favorable for this plant Of the last
forty years. We doubt that one stalk in ten now
growing in this and the Eastern States will fully
ripen its seed. But we shall have an abundance
of sweets this year, and the heavy Sugar specula-
tors may well go into bankruptcy at once. There
is no help for them. Cotton promises fair if not
a large crop, and Tobacco is generally thrifty. The
duction will be full, while our imports of Sugar
and Molasses will be very light.
The prospect for Indian Contour great Ma
tiona staple from Maine TO Texas remains to be
considered. Next to Grass, if not even before il,
this is our most important product largely ipp'y-
ing food for man and beast. and forming, in the
shape of Beef Pork and Whisky, the basis of
considerable export In this section, Corn is quite
lu1uriant, but very late, and in Danger Of destruc
ton by an early frost. We need full month OF
mainly dry, bright weather, to carry the Corn
beyond the reach Of danger. At present, it is
green as leeks, the ears scarcely fit to boil, and
the stalks barely done growing. frost as early
as the Goth inst would destroy half the crop. The
earth is saturated with water; the days but mod
erately warm, though clear and bright, with cool,
breezy nights. Few sections have been deluged
by rains throughout Spring aud Summer as this
has; but even where June and July were remark
ably hot and dry there have generally been heavy
rains in August, which tend to postpone the ripeu
ing Of the crop. A smart frost any time this
month would do great damage; before the 18th, it
would be National disaster. Should this peril be
Providentially ayerted, we may rejoice over one Of
the smplest harvests that blessed the Country
