MCLEAN CouSrY-We are indebted 10
Constable Haggard for information in regard
TO the wheat crop in the townships o! Dale,
Dry Grove, Danvers and Mosquito Grove
He visited said town during the fore part of
this week, and from what he saw and heard
he come to the conclusion that about one
half Of the wheat sowed on stubb.e was
killed during the winter months. That
sowed on sod, and in fields which were used
for corn last year, is III prime condition.
Mr.. Hag-ard is very intelligent aud observ-
ing man, and as ne spent three days in the
western and southwestern parts Of the
county, full reliance can be placed upon his
statements. His accounts agree fully with
those which have been sent US by residents
of nearly all parts OF the county. Farmers
will, Of course make up their minds at once
TO sow as much spring wheat as their cir
will allow.

Crop Itemh

Our country exchanges are beginning to
speak in reference to the prospects of the
coming wheat crop, and as a general thing,
We are pleased to find that the tone is much
more cheerful than month ago We appre.
hended it would be. In Southern Illinois.
particularly, where the season is much moro
forward than about here, the predictions are
very confident of good crop. We subjoin
a few clippings from our exchanges:
JACKSON CoUNrY.-A Carbondale CORES
pondent Of the Duqaoin Republican says,
March 9Th:
'"Wheat never looked better than it now
does at this season of the year. A large
quantity was sown in this and adjoining
counties, which now bids fair to richly repay
the farmer for his toll. Peaches and other
fruits now promise an abundant yield. No
apprehension is felt of q failure, unless the
present warm weather should push them
forward so rapidly that the lever to be
DR. eaded) late frosts should cheat US out OF
hose comforts Of life.
From the Champaign, H., Gasette.l
Coon NEWS OF THE WAEAT CRoP-We are
informed by our friend j. b. Porterfield, who
has Of late travelled extensively in the
southern part Of the State, that the prospects
for full and abundant wheat crop are ex-
ceediHgly favorable. The fields are, as a
general thing, looking remarkably well, and
| without some unexpected turn for the wor>e
we may expect to have good news frcm
Egypt next harvest.
We are glad to he able to announce, on
good authority. that the fields in our own
neighborhsod are not near SO badly off as
We at first supposed. Let US but have a
, reasonably favorable condition Of things from
this time forward, and little fear need be en-
terta ned of the result.
Still, as we have so often urged before, the
main dependence Of Central Illinois this
year must be upon our corn and spring
wheat, as, owing to the comparatively small
surface sown, even under favorable circuu-
stances the aggregate yield must be rather
light.

Roy We hear the complaint almost daily made
that there are not half enough mechanics in town
to do the work which is needed. And what is the
reason? Because mechanics cant find houses to
live in when they come here. There vacant
lots nterspersed throughout the town. but the owners
will not build upon them houses for rent, nor sell
them on terms that mechanics can pay. This is an
unwse policy and it retards the growth of the
town to II distressing extent Last year, numbers
came here seeking a home, and went away because
they could find no houses to go into, and the same
is the case now. A gentleman, and an accomplish
cd workman, told US, day or two since, that he
could give employment to twenty-five carpenters
more than he can find and added that they can not
be obtained from abroad because they can find no
house-room should they come. This is bad state
of things but little public spirit properly directed,
would soon cure the evil, and we do hope the
owners of vacant lots and full pockets will take
this matter under consideration and resolve TO pro-
vide homes for as many mechanics as may wish to
settle here
