| frost; and in the whole vast region over
spread by the last visitation, we do not sup
pose that one field in fifty is in that partic-
ular state. Upon the whole we. doubt
whether the general average of the wheat
crop will be materially diminished.
When the berry in one field is killed, it
is an even chance that the yield of the next
field will be improved. Frost is as des-t
tructive to insect enemies Of wheat, as to
the great. Moreover, owing TO the very
warm weather in May, the straw had al
tanned such a rank growth, that there was
serious reason TO fear loss of the crop b.
rust, and in all cases where it was not for
ward enough TO be injured by frost, we have
no doubt that the check given to the growth
will prove beneficial.
! 1t is also true that the southern part of
the belt of the frost-smitten country has
great portion of its wheat SO far advanced
that frost would not injire it, while on the
northern limit it was still too backward TO
be endangered. In looking over our re-
ports of the frost, we 90 not find that the
writers Of letters think the wheat killed,
even where corn, potatoes, tomatoes. mel
ons, grapes, and sometimes apples were "all
turned black" Besides, we must remem-
ber that even before the news of the frost
had reached and frightened some of the peo-
pie of this city almost TO the starvation point
we had samples of wheat in hand from Geor-
gia and Tennessee, where good crop had
been reaped, and was ready TO be thrashed
and sent hither should panic advance the
price to any considerable extent.
Attention will be chiefly directed to the
vast agricultural regions of the West, and
the accounts from that section will for some
time possess great degree of interest,"
The Cleveland Plaindealer of Wednesday
speaks Of extensive dealer of agricultural
implements in that City who has large
correspondence with the leading farms, and
and whose letters make The loss much small
er than was originally reported; pany
Of the letters make no mention Of frost at
all. The Plainllealer says fruits have suf-
fered considerably, but more than an aver
sge crop is expected. Grapes have suffer-
ed most.
In Michigan the accounts are similar;
but the Detroit Advertiser thinks that State
has suffered as little as any in The North
West. The Free Press of Thursday says:
"The damage done TO fruit, although
considerable does not appear 10 be as great
as was first feared, and we leave no account
as yet of any considerable distinctions
Corn is the most uninjured Of any field
production, and in very many counties it
will be necessary 10 replant. Wheat seems
10 have very generally escaped and now
promises as fair as it did last week. In
some localities 1t is undoubtedly much iniur-
ed, and has been nipped TO some extent
all over the State, but nothing like destruc-
tion which has happened TO corn has oc-
CURED to it. ..-
In Wisconsin fruit was much injured
The Madison Journal thinks corn. and wheat
were not sufficiently advanced TO be seri-
ously damaged
The Detroit Tribune is inclined 10 think
that Michigan, OH account OF her insular po-
sition; has not suffered heavily. 1t can hear
of 10 damage to the wheat and corn, though
pinched, Is said 10 have received no serious
injury. Potatoes and beans seem to have
suffered most. Tomatoes and grapes have
also sustained great injuries, at least in
some localities.
The Pittsburgh Dispath gives the follow
ing genreai opinions concerning the coudl-
ton OF the crops: ...- s..
Ist. That the great wheat growing re-
gron Of the West is injured.
Cd. That later reports which we have
in sevsral instances bring better
news.
Sd. That there is no occasion for wheat
and -four panic.
4th. That corn, potatoes and garden veg
etables-if no further disasters happen
will be abundant, though motnh later in
yield.
5rh That there will be fair supply Of
the nost valuable ol all fruits, apples,
and tolerable show of less indispensable
friits and berries.
i 9th. That those who purchase -four and
wheat at high panic rates: will regret it
before September,
