HARVEST PROSPECTS.

grain is good, and the great abundance of wheat
must bring in considerable money, even ii prices
are low. Oats about ordinary, and nearly ready
to harvest. Grass is remarkably good-some farm
ers are cutting now. Corn is not so good in this
and Sangamon counties, as in Morgan, Scott and
Greene. The latter counties will raise nearly full
crop, with an abundance of old corn while in the
former there cannot be over half crop if it all
escapes the frost, with but little old corn

would say that the wheat crop is likely to prove a
failure in our county, and the corn crop must be

MICHIGAN.
The Detroit Free Press, July ., says: "'Already
has the harvest begun in portions of the State In
some of the southern and south western counties,
farmers commenced cutting their wheat last Mon
day, and throughout that section it is thought that
this week will the harvest well under way.
Many fears have been expressed for the wheat crop
on account of the ravages of the weevi These
fears have some foundation in TRUTH although these
ravages are not so extensive many would have
us believe. The weevil, to be sure, will damage
the wheat crop of the State to extent but not
sufficiently to diminish the total amount of the har-
vest by any considerable quantity.
every many have feared that the crops would be
lnuredby rust but we are not advised as yet OF the
| existence of any in any part of the State. Corn
looks decidedly WELL That which was first plant
ed, where the seed proved good, is forward
as the crop was last year at this time. That which
was replanted is, to be sure, quite small, but the
warm weather of the last few weeks has pushed it
forward very fast, and continuance of the
weather for a few weeks more will place the result
of the harvest beyond doubt"
VIRGINIA.
\ crop of inferior wheat is reported in Caroline
County. The from Stafford. In King
George, Westmoreland, and the Northern Neck
counties generally, the accounts are gloomy. In
Fairfax, and in Prince William, and L0udOun, there
is better yield than it thought there would be
but still some damage In the Valley counties,
generally, an average crop-in some of them still
better. The Lynchburg Republican says: "The
farmers have finished their harvest. For quantity
and quality 1t is the meanest crop cut in Eastern
Virginia for many years. The Bristol Ne,rs says
that, owing to the rust fly, and other causes, the
wheat crop in Southwestern Virginia will not be
more than half an average CROP
