THE CRoPs.-We are not much addicted TO writing
on this subject simply because it is one of which we
have not the slightest personal knowledge. Our ag
ricutura friends often drop in at our office, and ex-
press great astonshment that we don't have more 10
say on a subject in which all classes are SO immed-
ately and vitality interested To all such we have now
to say that when placed in possession of re'ir
Tile information Of any description likely 10 interest
our readers give it publicity but when half doz-
en- different accounts given Of the same matter il
is our rule 20 let them Ri slide. Until within the last
few days. the accounts given by farmers living in the
same county, and in some instances, in the same
neighborhood in regard the prospects of the grow
ing crops were of II most conflicting character. Some
expressed themselves most hopefully, while others
despsired OF harvesting half crop. From n consersa
ton with intelligent gentleman yesterday, who
has recently traversed quite extensively Bedford, Am
herst, Nelson and Campbell counties, We learned that
the wheat prospect in that tier OF counties is gloomy
in the extreme. Within the last week or two, the fly
and joint worm have been playing sad havoc with 1t.
In many fields which short time since, promised a
most bountul YIELD the crop will not bring the cost
of harvesting and some of the farmers think OF turn
ing their cattle on them Should the season from this
time to harvest, prove propious as it is possible
to be- not than third OF crop OF wheat can be
raised in the section named. The and oats are
more promising, and in the even: Of favorable Sea-
son. good yields of each of these great staples Is el
pected.
