THK ILLINOIS WaKAr AND CoRx CRops.-The
Prairie Farmer of yesterday contains the fol-
lowing:
We are assured By men who have Travelled
extensively in this State, during and since har.
vest, that farmers have greatly ovcr-estlmated
the yield Of wheat per acre-that The thresher
and cleaner tells them far different story than
the long heads and plump kernels bud promised
that from one-quarter to one third, and in
some instances, one-half must BE- deducted from
the estimated yield 10 approach reality. This
is y serious dsappoins and We hope it is
not general. One gentleman. whose judgmcu.
'n such matter is good, thinks the corn crop
will not reach the mark auticpated-4hat it and
the potato crop in this State to full far below
the usuzl yield.
Our neighbours informant may be cor7tcs
with regard to some sections OF the State, so
far as regards wheat; but the corn crop is con.
cedcd By most people TO be sery largc, and,
with the exception Of perhaps Winnehago and
Boone counties, the yield will probably be as
good as in previous year, should ii not be dam
aged by early frosts.
MISSOURI CoRs CRoP.-The Editor of tic
Cape Gira1deau Edya, who has been down,
overland, to New Madrid, writes as follows in
his paper.
We found that most Of The far1ners Of Scott,
along the road, were engaged in plouehing their
stubble land, and nearly I'll of them enjoying the
expected and now almost certainly realized hca-
what is known as The Rich Woods, in the south
ern part of the county, and thence into and
through Big praric, in New Madrid county, a
distance Of some twelve or fourteen miles, that
will yield from forty to fifty bushels per acre
We are not sufficient judge to express an opin-
ion rs to the yield, but iron our own obscryH-
tions say that the Corn through the lower end of
Scott and all the upper part of New Madrid, on
tu the town, looks remarkably heavy, and pro-
misses and abundant yield.-New Madrid county
comes nearer being continuous corn field than
any other in the State, and we venture the ns-
