The Crops in York State.
We hare just had a conversation With
Major A. b. Dickinson of Chemuug coun-
tv, aud have received from him the sub
oined information as to the condition OF
the crops in considerable part of the
State Of New York:
Grass is generally thin, and thouf b the
rains Of the last few days have greatly i'm
proved their appearance. the meadows
look badly. This is particularly the case
in the southern counties, where, during
May, there was very little rain. In the
eastern counties, however, the grass looks
better, and there is prospect of good
crop.
Winter wheat looks very well, much
better than there was rea-on to expect.
considering the openDess and little snow
OF the Winter. Spring Wheat is also
promising; but it is too soon yet to say
that there will be good crop.
Of Iudian corn, great deal has been
planted; in fact, from oae-tbird more to
double tue usual breadth. The seed proves
to have been universally good, and has
come up well.
Oats have come up well, though the
crop o. last year, fron which the seed was
necessarily taken, was SO Jig ght that it was
doubted whether the grains would ger

Iu some localities the fruit is not injur

In Iowa.
A letter from John H. Hilton, Batavia,
Jefferson Co., Iowa, May %, gives evil
dencc to the crop prospects there as fol-
lows:
"Oar old grain is used up; We have
none on hand, as We bad last year, and
scarcely ANY corn planted yet. The
ground is very wet, and heavy rain to-
day. | find upon looking over my diary,
that we had seventeen days upon which
rain fell, more or less, since the goth day
of April 1t is Impossible Tor the ground
to be in coed condition for planting in
less than ten dry days, but we will 90 to
work in few days, If it qaiis raining, for
it is root pig or die with U, now. What
little corn there is. is selling readily at
81 per busbe; four 81 per c"t; tacon
l2c. per pound. Growing wheat, oats
and grass, where rot drowned out looked
we'll, and We can make corn if planted by

In Illinois.
G. W. Batchelder writes from Carthage,
Illinois, May IS, rather discOuragingly
of prospects. lie says:
Hancock County is in deplorable con-
ditioD; the Spring has been very wet thus
far, aud the farmers haze not yet planted
their corn; they have got iu little, but
not in anywise the amount they ought to
haze. There is no money stirring. Win.
ter wheat will yield only about half crop.
We are badly in debt, and of course 10 a
bad fx."

From Yardleyslle, Pa, we have let
ter Of June 2, from Opdyke, of much
more pleasing character than the above.
He says:
"Tbe crop prospect of Bucks County
was never moro hattering. Wheat could
not look more promising than it does
Rye and oats look much better th an usual.
There has been . larger amoont of corn
planted than last year, and it has come
up well; a0d bids fair for a heavy crop.
We are having fine time eating straw
berries and cream; they are much cheap.
er and more abundant than for the last
fse years. Apples and peaches will not
be any more than an average crop; OF
cherries and plumbs, We shall have an a
buudauce. Perhaps there never was as
many potatoes planted here as at present,
and they have come up well, and look
fine and healthy. All the crops planted
this season look well, and are three weeks
earlier than last year"
In Ohio.
The Fe7ysburg Journal has the fol-
loving item about the apple crop 10 Wood
County, o.:
in this vicinity the apple crop will be
light. The trees did not bloom well, and
so far as we have obsersed, there will be
less than half crop. j. A. Scott, esq,
of Miami, who gives much attention to
fruit, thinks his orchard will not yield
