THE WHEAT CROP.

ors upon the Wheat Crop ofthe present season, aud,
if we did, we shoud confuse our readers beyond their
ability Of comprehension Of the rea truth. We will
le,eore um up opinion, bssed upon the best evil
derce tha. We car obt ain from extensive Information,
ard give II a. 10 our readers for what may be worth.
To b. gin with the esrlies. harvest Of Wheat, We
must stsrt with Texas where considerable whest is
now grown, snd where think the crop was full as
good as the average Of years, with large brea'h
sovn.
In tie north part of Mississippi and A,bsm, there is
small breadth Of Wheat sown, AMI there The crop
WEE good.
In Upper Gsorgis wheat is 8 stsple crop, SUD we
Go not recoeot hearg any complaint Of its failure this
sesson.
Moth Carolina rot only grows whest foris own USE
but sends large quantities North, aud the samples prove
that the quality this year is good and the yield has
been fair for that State.
IL Virginia, the crop is spotted. In some counties it
good; in Others slmost entire failure. The Rsp
psharnock courtes generally appear likely to give
about half crop Of hrveled grain. The State at large
we think, will yield much more than half crop, or
else We should have heard great deal more croakng-
habit that Virginia wheatgrowers are little apt to
indulge in.
The Wheat crop in Maryland, Delaware and Penn
syvaps is generally large, and We do not think it be-
hind the average this year.
New-Jersey is not large wheat. growing State, but
IT has some good fields this year.
Tie New England States grow but little Wnest, but
q good deal of Rye and believe the crop has not
been better for many years.
The Wheat crop in the State Of New-fork, az gen.
eral tbirg, must be conceded failure. The midge
has destroyed all the late penDg fields Of white wheat
in Central New.York. There will be moderate crop
eS.l.o firbt and
is not good SOFT for -four. John johnson Of Genevs,
says that if he could by any briug his whsa. to
maturity ten days earlier he could escape the midge.
Ore field upon weldr aimed land treated largely with
salt matured Elk days ahead of Others and esosped the
ndge The oss in the State from this little pest this
year. will be go large that the value of the crop lost
would do much towsrj draining all the wheat land in
the State. The los on The whes. crop to NswYork
farmers this year will amour. to an immense sum, aud
make wheat 10 scme loc,ities higher FOX home con.
sun ption then the general market price.
10 ell the great wheat growing region of the West
the growth Of straw has been immense aud al crosk-
ers cay the berry is not proportion to the indications
Of growth. We grant that, and ask "Wnen, if ever
did Western Wheat yield grain in proportion to the
straw, taking Eastern crops as the Standard We
say never If it did, the crop would sometimes measure
100 bushels per acre. As to whether the crop in all
the Western States will yield much grain as the sv-
ersRe Of years. we think there is room for dispute
The labor of thrsshiug is greater and in some loca
ties there will be fields suffering with blight and rust;
but en- the whole, the quantity of grain will be as
large az ever. We doubt, however, whether there
will be as much wheat for sale, since, 10 consequence
CT q shor Corn crop, and ditto Of Gate more Wheat
will be reeded aMorg the producers. We may bs
wrong in opinion, ard we stand ready to correct
upon proof but with present information, We must
believe that the general wheat crop Of the United
States will throw many bushels upon the market as
it ever did, and consequently there will be no short
crop-prces.'
