The Growing Wheat Crop.

The editor of the Humboldt Tennessee
Cosmos has been over in Illinois and Indi-
ana, and gives the result of his observation
inregard to the wheat crop, as follows:
From personal observation and diligent
inquiry through Illinois and Indiana, we
are convinced the prospect for good crop
of wheat in that region was never better
than it is now. Much fear of failure had
been entertained there as well as here. but
we hope from present indications il may
prove groundless, and that the farmers, and
all others concerned. will have cause to re-
joice in the abundance of the coming har-
vest.'' s4z. tFi
The Doylestown (Pa.) Democrat says
''The prospect of an abundant harvest, as
we learn from farmer friends, is now as fat
tering as it has been in any year past. The
grain appears to have sustained but little
injury during the winter, even in low ground,
and is now coming up most beautifully.
while the sunny days and refreshing rains
all right. Should no accident happen, the
omens are all suspicious for splendid har-
vest in this section of the country -''

The Baraboo wis. Republic says:
"Our farmers were last year good deal
discouraged about successfully cultivaling
winter wheat, accordingly have done moth
ing towards raising that variety for the COM
ing harvest. But the deficiency in that
crop will be abundantly atoned for under
the auspices of favorable season, by the
many acres of land now being and yet 70 be
plowed, for the sowing of spring wheat
The prices of the staple crop, the most re-
Liable perhaps of this State, having steadily
advanced nearly ever since the last harvest,
our farmers feel much encouraged to make
this their main dependence for the coming
year. Even thus early in the season, every
fair day is improved to swell the number Of
acres intended for cultivation" essg5 as.5 Is
The Chicago Journal says 'eA gentle
man, after passing over the Michigan Cen

tiser that the growing wheat never looked
better than now Fg,
The Alton IN. Courier says: "a. gem

much the best. His business has called
