THE WHEAT CROP.

1 their speculations pom the " heat Crop of the
present season, and if did, should con-
fuse our readers beyond their ability and COM
preleusion of the real truth We VIII there
tore Up opinion, based upon the best
evidence that can obtain from extensive in
formation, aud give that to our readers for what
il may be worth.
To begin it'll the earliest harvest of Wheat,
we must start with Texas. where considerable
Wheat is now grown, and where, think, the
crop was full as good as the average Of years,
witha large breadth sown.
In the north part OF Mississippi and Alabama
there was q small breadth Of Wheat sown, and
there the crop good.
In Upper Georgia wheat Is 4 staple crop. and
We do not reeolleet hearing any complaint of its
failure this season.
North Carolina not only grows wheat for its
own use, but sc-ds large quantities North, and
the sample. prov, that the quality this wear Is
good, and ,he yield has been fair for that State.
In Virginia the crop i spotted Ia some
counties II IS good IN others, almost an entire
failure. The Rappahannock counties generally
appear likely to give about half crop of shry-
e!ed grain. The State at large, we think, will
yield much more than hall crop. else
should have heard a great deal mere croakiug-
a habit that Virginia Wheat growers are a little
apt to indulge IN.
The Wheat crop in Maryland, Delaware and
Pennsylvania are general Y large, and We do not
think 1t behind the average this year.
New Jersey is not large wheat growing
The New England States grow but little
wheat, bat good deal OF Rye, and we believe
the crop has not been better for many wears

an immense sum, and make wheat in some To-

In all the great wheat growing region Of the
2 West the growth Of straw has been immense,
and all cruakers say tie berry is not In proper
/ ton to the indications of growth. We grant
n that and ask, d" When. if ever, did Western
: Wheat yield grain in proportion to the straw,
e taking Eastern crop rs the standard :" We say,
r never; if it did, the crop would sometimes
a measure 100 bushels per acre As To whether
V the crop in all the Western States VIII yield a.
e much grain rs the average of years, We think
/ there is room for dispute. The labor of

j viii he fields suffering with blight and rust

e We doubt, however, whether there will be rs
q much wheat for sale 81 &c, in consequence Of a
5 short Corn crop, and ditto of Oats. more " heat
$ will be needed among the producers. We may
{ be wrong in our opinion, and We stand ready TO
r correct IL upon proof, but with our present in
formation, must believe that the general
= wheat crop of the United States will throw as
many bushels upon the market as it ever did
Il and consequently there viii be no "short-crop
