In this country, fifteen Of the States
may be regarded as wheat growers. Very
little is raised in the others-not enough,
indeed, for home consumption. New
York, Pennsylvania, Mary ylaud, Virginia.
North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Missouri, Ohio, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana,
Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin are
the wheat growing countries. They raise
the surplus which is carried into the oth-
er States Of the Union, and supply the ex,
port demand to foreign countries.
From the best information we gather
from our exchanges, the following sugges.
tons as to the crop Of 1853, in the fifteen
States named above may be relied upon:
New Iork.-Ihe crop is under last
years bou, fifteen per cent, but the qdai
ity is much better.
Pennsylvania.-I'Le crop is fully an av.
erase one, but ten per cent. less than las,
year per acre.
Maryland. d.-The crop is an average one,
but less per acre and better in quality, than
las. year.
Nirginia.-lhe wheat crop in this State
is twenty per cent less than last year for
the amount Of ground in cultivation, and
the quality not much superior.
North Carolina.-1he crop IN this State
is probably nearer total failure than IN
any other, the yield being fully fifty per
cent. less than last year, and poor IN quail
ity.
Kentucky. The crop is above the av-
erage, but less than last year. The quail
liy is however, unsurpassed.
Tcnnessee.--1he crop is good one, but
under the average in the yield per acre
The quality is good.
Missouri.--The amount of wheat crop in
this State is not fully known, but il will
generally compare well per acre with the
other Western States.
Ohio.--1he yield OF wheat per acre is
fully twenty per cent. less than last year,
but from the increase OF land in cultivation
the decrease from an average crop will not
much excee d ten per cent.
lowa.-Ihe accounts from the centre
OF the State in regard to the wheat crop
are very gloomy. The crop viii hard y
average ten bushels to the acre.
Iliinois.-In Southern Illinois the yield
Of wheat is about fair average. rather uu.
der than oseE. The winter whea, has been
generally successful, aud spring wheat the
reverse. In other parts Of the State the
yield will not be over half the usual crop.
lndiana.--in laliana the yield OF
wheat has been from one half to two thirds
Of the average crop.
Mnnesota.-1he yield of wheat in this
State is Of better quality than usual, and
in quantity nearly two-,hirds the usual
crop.
Miehigan.--The yielu of wheat in Mich.
Igan is over twothirds an average crop,
aud generally OF good quality.
Wiscouain.--The crop OF wheat is up to
the average, the greater extent III cultiya
