'CROP PROSPECTS.

below
WIyrrR waEar.-The wheat of the grain counties,
as general thing was never better IN quaA'y anu
,be Weld per acre iall average with any former
wear. But the breadth sown was unusually narrow,
and the result is small comparative crop. The
harvest has commenced in msuy Of the counties, and
the next ten cay. should the weather prove as avora-
bic As during the psst week will the whole crop
secured TIE crop bsyiog been 80 unexpectedly good
. III DE the means Of seeding az unusual breadtn oil
land this autunn.
WINTER BARLEY.-The growing OF this grain has
considerably increased in the shea, region, but has
nv no means become general. The plant does not
stand our Winters a. vel as wheat rye, and hencs
when there is any reasonable prospect Of crop %
wbest il WI! not be sosn. Tne crop is secured N
capital order, and the yield satisfactory saw some
fields to-day in Seneca County that have yielded over
80 bushels to the acre.
WNrFR RYE.-In many sections the cultivation Of
this lent has been steadily increasing and il will be-
come one Of the leading straw crops il can be sue
ce.slny grown over a much larger extent OF country
than either Winter wheat or Winter barley. II is a
pqying crop on any farm almost, and profitable one
near large towns and cities The crops extra good
both in the straw and the grain, and WI be secured
10y the eud Of the ccmitg week.
SPRING OR SUMNER WHEAT.-Oging To the failure
in the Winter wheat there has been steady increase
in the breadth of land devoted this crop aud during
the last three years, until the number OF bushels ex-
ceeds 10 the whole State the Winter wheat Generally
tie plant has had vigorous growth, and is heading
ont strong, and with good color. The hot weather,
should we have few wet days aud close atmosphere,
may cause the rust; but should we escape that the
qgsnti,y grown will be very large.
OArs-The Dat crop, at best will only be toerable
hot fair average, the latesown are heading out
very short in the stra. and the dry, hot Teather will
no, be favorable for their making heavy kernel.
SPRING BARLEY is generally looking well, and the
prospect is now favorable for fsr erop-aboat an
average 1t is in full head generally and the plant
stands strong, aud with a fair growth OF straw.
ISDIAS CoRs.-There are by at least one-thui
planted to this year than before.
The plant looks universally strong aud healthy, and
j. making rapid growth but it is, upto this date,
| from ten days to iwo weeks later than last year.
Should we escape September frost there will be Al
immense crop secured-all now depeads upon that
contingency.
BEANS, in many sections Of the State, form an
important crop in the farm, The plant is looking
well except in localities wh ere it was scorched alittls
b. the frost on the night Of the 81 Of July. The
damage, boweyer, by the frost was not serious. But

make note of it, that, on the morning of the
Fourth Of July, 1859, there was a frost severe
enough 20 damage vegetation in the western par.
ofthis State.
GkA.s.-The hay crop IL 6 very poor one at best.
Ir no section will II come up to an average, while 10
some places, especially west of the Genesee River,
| it Is nearly failure. Thousands Of acres of Old
meadow will not pay for moving Tne open Winter

possible to cary their stock through.

eIecis Of the dry weather, and 10 some sections The
grss,hoppeTs have begun thsr rayages, which will
seriously, damage the profits of the balance Of the

FRUITs.-Peschcs are out of the question, but the
crop q apples will be- fair though in some sections
they are entirely oe.Goyei.
As 4 whole, should there be a good crop Of corn.

ChoPs ~ hcHlGAS.-Our accounts from the greet
farming STATE OF Michigan encourage us TO believe
that the harvest Of 1879 viii be fruitful one.
