Tat and adjoining Counties are the best in the
State for wheat. The damage by both frosts, 10
wheat was certainly much more in central OH, than
in Michigan.
A letter from Grass Lake, jackson CO., June 10,
after speaklng Of the damage being much more severe
by the second fro-t than the first, says;
winter wbest LOOKS ext emely well, and the proba
bilty is we shall have splendid CROP
In the great wheat region Of Northern Indiana, pa
pers printed in tina, section say the damage 70 wheat
il not serious.
In Wisconsin from letters and papers, we gather
the opinion that the frost has done more good than
harm TO the wheat crop few fields have been de-
stroyed and great macy insect enemies OF wheat
have shared the fate, even In helds where the
grain was Dot injured.
In Northern Illinois, the same thing is true. Here

bers Tomatoes, and cutting corn and potatoes 20 sho

In Western Pennsy lvsria letter OF June 10, from
Washington upty, says:
Some Of ouI farmer will lose almost their entire
crop and scafcel, iii gle farmer has escaped without
seriuns injury. The average yield throughout THIS
county will scarcely be halt CROP
In this State the accounts are checkered. The last
frost did the most damage in the Eastern counties
On the WHOLE the damage to the winter grain is not
very severe.
A letter from Pratt-burg, Steuben County, whichis
supposed to be as frosty one a. any, says; June
II. Wheat and rye are uDRjured'
A letter from Delhi, Delaware County, speaks of
the destruction of corr potatoes, fruit &C., but not
word Of injury To wheat.
Another (. ON Norwich Chensngo County, il Of or
acty the same tenor.
letter from Bolivar, Allegheny County, however
speaks in positive terms Of damage to wheat. It
says:
1.-THE frost cnt down all vegetables that were up,
and many entirely destroyed. Ny beautiful wheat

s,nff is concerned; | shall It for hay and try TO
get it into buckwhea. | have feared nneh ior ny
oats but now think that they will survive the frost

ward pJa-s will be destroyed
A letter from Csnsjooarie, Montgomery County,
June 49, inclos.s specimen of broom corn killed dead
from the frost Of the 10th and 18th. II says; The
whole crop on the Mohawk fats is destroyed"
On Long Island, a letter dated Babylon, June 10,
says:
~, was very cold here, but cannot learn that the
front did any damage. Wheat, rye and oats look par
culary fbei grass will be a fine crop, clover neary
ready TO cut"
In Oneida County, where farmers were very much
dishesrtened, they are quite buoyant again. aud
begin to hope that frstrate crop II still In re-
serve for them.
In Herkimer County the first frost had but little
ef.c,-the snow was killing the tender vegetables,
but not serious upon grsss and Winter grain.
In Vernont, NewIiampshire, and some part OF
Mas acusetts the last frost did considerable injury
to te nder vegetable but cannot learn that whest,
rye or grass il burt to any considerable extent.
The range of the first, where its effects show the
most severe, appears TO extend upon line, cutting
Auburn, n. Y, on the northwest, and Columbus,
Otto. on the southwest. This includes the region
from which come The loudest complaints Of damage.
On the shores Of Lake Erie, and along the Ohio
Valley, il shades of or in sig-zsg lines. Taking
the whole region struck by frost we don't think that
the damage done to the wheat be equal TO loss
OF onehrd Of an average crop. The injury to other
crops, often vexaous and in some cases serious, will
be in great measure recovered by the ndomitable
perseyera &c that cbaracterzesthe American farmer.
