CROPS PROSPECTS.

Is CANADA WEsr.-D. l.. GROCER Of Csyugs,
Haldeman County, C. W., in letter dated May 70,
gives us the following account of crop prospects In
that section:
Crops in this section Of the country bid fair to be
abunc ant The principal crop raised here is Wheat,
it being mostly stiff clay soil and too lumpy for
Corn or other crops, cultivated with the hoe. Fer
the last two or three years the Wheat crop has been
troubled with the insect and not in consequence Of
impoverished lands, IA the country is new and pro-
duces vigorous growth.
"Tbe Pea crop was formerly al most entirely de-
stroyed by the pea bug, but for the last two years
the crop has been good.
" But little fruit is raised in this section farmers
having given but little attention 10 its culture. There
appear to be but few blossoms upon the trees gener
ally, this year.
Is MISSEsorA--C. w. Morgan Of Utica Wnnons
County, Minnesota, in a letter of May 49, speaks die
couragngly of farmers prospects in that section. lie
says:
MANY farmers early last Fall sold their entire crop 10
the contractors the railroad on thirty DAYS credit
and have been this Spring obliged to sell their seed
to pay taxes and other necessary expenses the
sequence is that thousands of Of the most fer
tile and productive improved lands lie idle for the
want of seed The people have got their eye-teeth
just cut in the railroad swinde; not man of my ac-
quaintance would again vote for the loan bill Many
personsn consequence Of bad crops last year. and hard
times this, obliged b. sell their farms. There
never was, or perhaps will be, great Inducements
offered for Eastern farmers to get them cheap, and
good farms as here now il needs but improvements 10
make this the empire State of the West. Orange
County dairy could not do better than come here.
We baye fine water and sweet rolling pastures, and
suitable climate TO compete with Orange County
in supplying Newfork with the best Of butter and It
reduced rates."
Is IowA.-H. II. Brown Of wiscatts, Dallas
County Iowa:
"The weather here il very fine. We have had no
frost since the I'D of April Vegetation is coming for
ward rapidly. Our Winter was quite moderate with
the exception OF ten days.
liz PEsssYyASIA.-we have the following iaforma-
ton from farmer in Adams County, Penn:
wheat look very well, and is very toward; some
Of the earlier varieties already shooting heads. Oats
have come mp well, and are growing rapidly Corn
has been planted in good time, and is coming up well.
Fruit, except peaches the loss Of which will not
amount TO much as there are but few trees " unin
jured, and provisions are in abundant crop. The
weather has been wet and warm, rather too much 90
for the wheat but the very thing for and Spring
crops. Altogether the prospect for abundant crop
is better than it has been before in Year,"
IL NEw-JERsEY.-A letter from Quakertown, MI,
May %, has this paragraph
"There il good prospect ofapples, pears and cher
ries, but not Of peaches. Wheat looks fine, grass
thin being Killed last Summer and this Winter, which
will make the hay crop light"
is OHio.-A correspondent OF The Ohio Farmer
says the prospect of good crop Of peaches in Fair
field County, never better than it s now.
Another says Of Guernsey County: We have proc
pect Of sufficient fruit ior our own use.
Is kEsTCcxY.-The report is that crops never
promised better. Rye in full head May Is.
Is Our OwS VIcKITY. The season here Is un-
usually forward. Apple blossoms are sn of, and the
young apples hang thick IS the leaves. Cherries,
too, equally abu idant. Strawberries, both wild
and cultivated are beyond precedent in appearance;
very fine ones are already IN market-prcs 40 cents
q small quart, bulls Other fruits, peaches ex-
cepted, bid hope and believe they will be album
dsnt. The gardens generally looked better the
last week in May than they do now. We have had
the very best of weather for blowing and planting
and plenty Of moisture and warmth. Many fields Of
corn are up 70 to mark the rows, and potatoes
have been had the fret time on many farms. Stili,
people are planting corn, and will till the lst Of june
and the area of planted land has been larger,
probably than this season and certainly the country
never had greater occasion for good crop Of ell
kinds of grain, and food plauts generally. Rye is
already as high tall mans head, and its heads
promise q great yield of food. Our pastures como
forward unusually early, and that has greatly in
creased our stock Ct butter. Some clover fields are
in full bloom, and the plants big enough for the
scythe The forest trees appear as thick a. at Md
summer which indicates the forwardness Of tho
sesscn, which altogether is most unusually promising.
PEACHES is MAEYL.sD.-A gentleman just re-
turned from tour Of some two weeks upon the
eastern shore Of Maryland says the peach crop there
is quite promising Som. large orchards win produce
as well as they have any season Of Late years, and
proprietop are already making arrangements TO send
the product TO the NewYork maIke;; - that al who
afford to pay the high prices viii be able to eat
peaches next Fall. The peach crop in Delawsre's
