A letter written from Bloomington, H., May -,
.avs:

known teie. 1t commenced raining on The 3Dth OF
April ard mas rsined since every dsy buttwo or three

One acre in fifty of cur corn ground cannot have been
planted Wheat IS growing TOO rank, and only sras,

Nor is there any prospect of a change very soon

ususy lasts from ten TO fifteen mooths-tne heaviest
rains occurring usually m Jnnr
Scores OF letters and papers before Us Tell the same
story slightly varied in language. The sum of them
is: "Our corn ia yet unplanted-our ground still IN
"plowed. We shall have no corn crop this year.
The prospect is indeed gloomy, but we have still an
abiding faith in the certainty of both seed-tine and
harvest. We know that along the line Of latitude on
which this city stands, good crops of Indian corn hsye
been grown after the middle OF June, ard We fully be-
ieye that sill the seed which can be planted this year
in tho frat week of that month, will bnog better
crop pan that planted month earlier, unless it bs in
anal sectiopS of warm dry soll. Therefore we conf
Gsntiy bid farmers no. 10 despair. II May has been
cold and wet, June, in oil reasonable prob,bliy viii

date will grow with Astonishing rspdity. The Only
fear s that il vii 10 not planted, FOR The reason thaI
the ground s not ready because it has been too wet
to ADMIT of blowing. But, be the coil wet or dry, The
seed SHOULD be put in without further delay
