The Crops.

SeS WIG ConullIoli anu prospect OF INC
crops abroad. Where the harvesting
has been finished, of course greater &C.
curacy can be arrived at, in judging Of
the quantity and quality Of the various
kinds of grain.
SANGAMoN Co. Illinois-There will
be more than an ordinary crop of wheat,
from the fact that every farmer planted
more than the usual quantity. 1t has
been affected somewhat with the rust.
BOND Co. Ill.-Wheat is much IN
jured by rust, yet think there will be
as much good wheat as usual in the
county, there being considerable
amount of old on hand. Oats almost
an entire failure, not enough for seed.
WASHINGTON Co., Tl.-Wheat a
half crop. - Oats not half Corn, pros
poets good for half crop. Potatoes av-
erage. ah@ atl Gus SCI he
CHRISTIAN Co., Ill.-Crops never SO
unpromising before. The continued
rains have blasted the wheat in many
places. There is little or no corn.
MENARD Co., Ill.-Wheat not much
over half crop. Some is very plump
and good, some rusted, and some not
worth cutting. Oats not half crop.
SHELBY Co., IH.-Wheat is haryes-
ted and is about average Oats, en-
tirely failed. The wet weather has eff
fected corn very much; farmers saw
there will not be over one-third Weld. :
CAss Co., Ill.-Wheat harvested and
about half crop realized. Corn from
present prospects will not be over half a
crop. Oats, about half, Il .~aaa 81
RANDOLPH Co., Ill.-Wheat in GUAM
tity aud quality may be called good but
not the best. Oats, an entire failure.
very few worth the cutting.
MAcoUPIN Co., Ill.-Wheat is much
better than was expected, but not as
good as usual; but the larger amount,
say two-thirds or three ourths, will
yield an average. .s.
MCLEAN Co., Hl.-Wheat generally
will prove failure here, and corn must
be short. a, sssr.. a,aff.s
. MARION Co., Il.-Wheat crop is un-
usually good and is generally secured.
WH1TEsIDE Co., 1ll.-The wheat crop
is very much damaged, say one-half, al
least. Oats are also considerably dam.
aged. III
PULASKI Co., Ill.-Oats are an en-.
tire failure. Wheat considerably dam
aged by storms and heavy rains; it will
not be more than half a crop in compar.
ison with last year. Corn is late, but
looks well. OH ri IT, ess.4 fau.s
ScoTT Co., Iowa. A BOUT three -fourths
say of the entire crop of wheat is good
and the other quarter destroyed by rust
and now the rains are sprouting great
portion of it in the shock and stack.
Polk Co., Iowa.-No previous sea.
san has promised SO much in the way
of wheat as this until within short time
time since.-Some localities are affect.
ed by the fly, and how much damage
may be affected remains to be seen; in
no case there will be less than an aver
age crop.
MARQUETTE Co. Wis.-The Mar
quette E;spress has information from a
gentleman of reliability, saying the
wheat fields in different parts OF the
county look well, and spring wheat new
er more plump and bright than now.
JEFFERSON Co., Wis. Harvesting
is pretty generally through ; the yield
will fall somewhat short of the last two
or three years. 9d aIl ~ /
PIERCE Co., Wis.-Wheat in Pierce
Co. is good. The Journal published in
that county is of opinion the crops OF
the county would take the premium OF
the state.
BUFFALO Co., Wis, rejoices in the
prospect of a good wheat crop. Nc
complaint Of rust or blight.
SAUK Co., Wis.-The wheat crop
which promised so well, some ten days
ago, says the Baraboo Republic, has
been struck withrust, smut, blight and the
chintz- bug. TheRepu61ic thinks the
crop will fall short fully one-fourth il
the county.
MINNEsoTA.-Th st. Paul Times
July "a, says wheat and rye have sus
tanned much damgae from rust. Far
mers are generally in the midst of har
vest. a
MA1NE.-A Portlandpaper says :'Tht
season has been an unusually favorable
one, thus far, for the crops of all kinds
The prospect for plentiful harvest was
never better. Fruit trees of sll kind,
are literally loaded with fruit" s.-
| OUTAGAM1E Co., Wis.-The Appleton
Crescent says:
The wheat cropin this county will moi
compare with last year, although there
was much greater amount OF lane
sown, and of course, must be greater
aggregate amount raised. Winter
wheat, in most of the towns, is more OIL
less, affected by rust. There is some
smut and chess, but no great amount
The crop of winter wheat will probably
yield trifie over two-thirds as much as
last year. Spring wheat bids fair tc
nearly equal last years yield, although
1t must fall short some. Corn is toler.
able, oats very fair, hay, the best crop
raised, potatoes are suffering for rain
and garden vegetables, excellent. As
a whole, the farmers in the River Y alley
will do better than farmers in any other
portion of the State.
