THE CROPS.

OHIO.
The crop of wheat in Belmont county will be a
heavy one. The Weevil is doing some damage, but
this is not extensive The crop is doing well.
Oats bid fair for good crop Tobacco looks well.
The crop of all kinds of fruit will be light In Mi
ami county there is a favorable prospect for wheat
crop. Oats look well; Rye ditto. The corn crop
promises to be largely deficient.
The prospects for corn crop seem to be blasted
in the Scioto Valey-the chief corn growing sec
ton of the State The farmers have discovered that
all the that was up before the freshet has
been killed by sediment deposited between the
leaves whilst that which was not up is generally
rotten. Overlooked wheat fields are dead and rot
ting.
INDIANA.
In Owen county, the prospect for corn crop is
bad. There is however, good crop ofwheat, and
oats and grass look well. As to hogs there will be
an average supply.
In Randolph county, there will be about one
half of crop of wheat. Early oats are doing well;
Corn sections planted in the latter part ofApril and
first of May, look fine. There will be large guam
tity of Buckwheat sowed in this county.
In Dearborn county crop prospects are dlscour-
aging Cheat and smut have injured the wheat
and there will be only half a crop. Corn will be
correspondingly short; hay is also deficient
In Jefferson county, the average number OF acres
of corn have been planted, the most of which is up
and doing we'll The wheat and other small grain
never were better or promised farer, with this sim
gle exception the rains have caused the heavy
wheat to fall which will make it difficult to put.
ILLINOIS.
In Henry county, the wheat fields, which few
weeks ago looked so promising, of
them under water; and ALL to the farmers practiced
| eye unpromising.
Last year the corn crop was light, and large
proportion of it of too poor quality to keep for
market and this year the crop will be still lighter.
Altogether the prospects for the crops this season
| are exceedingly unpromislng.
In Jersey county the prospect for a most abun-
! dant Weld of wheat continues good. The army
| is but bas M DANA Or q
| There will probably be a very good yield OF corn
this year, though much of the ground laid out for
! the purpose will remain implanted.
The Illinois State Journal say of the whole State,
that the wheat crop is considered to be good and
pretty large amount in though the rains have in
ured wheat even, in many parts, not very serious
| ", however The crop, which is the staple of
the South is unusually late, especially in the large,
level praires and indeed the bulk is not yet plant
ed; while such is planted and is up is losing fast
! on account of the wet. In Jefferson Hamilton,
| Franklin and other counties further South, where
the lands are more undulating, the prospect is bet
ter as there have seldom been, notwithstanding the
very frequent heavy rains of the past three months
more than two or three days together during which
| farmers could not work more less. 1t is evident
| there will be a considerable amount of in
| Egypt this year, although the prospect is and has
| been gloomy.
There is also great deal of fruit of all kinds and
| an uncommon promise of cherries, orchard plums
and other fancy berries and fruits but not MANY
apples peaches, or pears. There is also good CROP
| of woods mast," such as nuts, acorns and grapes
And in respect of crops, it may be said that from
the alluvial, undulatng location of lands in Egypt
| they have gained marked advantage over theiI
! brethren north, this rainy season.
! Harvest operations commenced on the 10th al
| Monticello and in the Piasa regions. The grain
stands well, and the harvest, with this beautiful
weather, promises greatly. The fears of rust, cut
worm, lodging, &C., are mostly groundless, as yet
MISSOURI.
In Galway county, notwithstanding the long
| wet term, the crops promise liberal yield. The
| wheat the fiat land is somewhat injured, and il
| some cases is dying out, but the uplands the
crops are very heavy and indicate larger yielC
than for several years. The oat crop also promise:
| well, and the grass never heavier better.
Corn has been very much injured by the rains.
| In Jasper county the wheat crop will be a much
better yield than was anticipated. Many farmers
say they will reach about an average crop. Grass
| will be about an average. The yield Of oats will
be abundant; many farmers say their oat prospect;
! have not been so fine for several years. Corn
though not well advanced as usual, looks very
promising.
| ARKANSAS.
The present season has been unusually rainy.
Throughout the entire valley of the Arkansas ant
indeed the whole State, the complaint of the back
wardness of the crops has been almost general
| The cotton crop will not average more than hal
the usual yield. The corn crop is very backward
and there is no Judging, at this time, whether il
will be a short or an average one. Oats, in many
parts, particularly in Saline and the neighbOring
will not even save seed Wheat, from the grea
breadth of land sOwn, may, in the aggregate, come
fully up to the yield of last year, but the produc
of each acre. will not probabyb than half the
amount.
TENNESSEE.
In jackson county the cotton crop is suffering
from the lice The Oat crop is almost an entire
failure, caused by the rust. Corn looks tolerabl,
WELL and the wheat (now harvesting will turn GU
about two-thirds of crop.
KENTUCKY.
The oat crop in Nelson and Washington counties
promises indifierently. In the bottoms it is almos
entire failure while that growing on the uplands
is running from ravages of rust. The wheat cror
| is looked to with great anxiety. The corn look
| well, and without extraordinary drought there il
no reason to doubt fair crop.
| IOWA.
There never was better prospect for crops in
| Iowa than at the present time. Wheat, oats anC
grass are doing frst-rate, and corn, though late
| shows every appearance of coming out well.
| MINNESOTA.
The corn is up and growing finely, and so will
all other kinds of gran-oats and wheat especially
| look well. The promise of abundant harvest i
everywhere apparent.
GEORGIA.
Crops between Atlanta and Augusta never
! looked more promising. The stands of corn ant
cotton are good, and the appearance of the plan
| healthy.
In the counties of Talbot and Marion the corr
and cotton crops are very promising, and some
! two or three weeks more forward than last year
about an average of each planted compared will
| the last. Wheat in some localities has yielded
abundantly, while in others it has proved a com
plete failure in consequence OF the rust and smut
Oats, in the gray lands, worthless having beer
completely ruined by rust, but in red lands they
are some better, and will make seed.
