I,la.d, in New jersey, and generally throughout
the cd Free States, We have had just about ran
enough for six weeks past, and it has fallen very
opportuDely, go that Corn has nothing to do but
grow. ard il has done .hst with will. Probably
the crop ia q week later than ususl-we think not
more--but it never before looked go rough
and black at this season. Two months
more to frost, With An average dispensaton Of SIN
md ran, would insure the lsrgest Corn crop ever
grown il tie East. Half that term would probably
suffice for the South In the West, the Gaze Is
different, mainly because much Of the best Com
lard wss flooded i1s. after it was or just when 1t
should have been planted, so that smaller area
than usual was plated, aid much Of this entirely
too late With hot, genial weather and no frost
til October land the prairie brsszes are admirable
protectors from FROST there may ye. be full crop
in the great Germ growing valleys Of the Scioto,
Missouri, Wabash, Illinois, Des Moines, &c, but
we anticipate the Egttest yield per s,re for many
years. Yet at the worst We shall have surplus to
export either a. Grain, Meal or Meat.
Cotton, though late, seems to be dOirg well aud
to premise fair average yield. But ii is too esrly
yet 10 speak Of this plant with confidence.
Cane is Of course stll further back. We do not
lear much from the Sorghum Of tbs years gro xth,
which leads US to spprehend that it came up badly
and is lot looking we'll. 1t is slow aud feeble
plant st the start but ea! at growing after il las
become bnes.tigh. We doubt, however, its matur-
ing its seed north of Cincinnati aud Washington
this year. while the stalk is not sweet when cut be-
fore its ripe. The late, wet Spring gave this plant
70 fair chance this year. while last season was even
less favorable. One of our old.fssbioned clear, hot
summers, with little or 20 rain from the middle Of
July to the first Of September, is needed to develop
tie properties Of Sorghum.
Potatoes were largely planted and have 50 far
Gone well. We hear Of very little rot. There 10
now prospect Of q very large average crop.
Frmt was extensively bIghted by the cold rains
and winds Of May. Cherries were few; Peaches
promise very little of Apples, there will not be
more than half an average YIELD though the average
has been seriously lowered Of late years. We adj
vise farmers who have Apples that can be dried to
.erd very few TO the cider.mill this year.
From Minnesota and Kansas, we have especially
cheering accounts Of the growing Crops. These
have hitherto been buyers Of Food; they will prob
ably grow their own this year, thus allowing Wis
con.iD Iowa and Missouri to increase their ship
ments to the seaboard On the whole, therefore,
though our letters from Iowa indicate q light har
vest, we believe the West will spare as much Food
as last year, while the need ofthe East will be con-
sdtiably diminished by the productiyeness of her
farms and the stagnaton Of her manufactures. So
We shall have at least much Of this years produce
to send abroad as We had of last years.
