The editor of the Humboldt (Tenn) Cosmos has
been over in Illinois and Indiana and gives the re-
suit of his observation in regard to the wheat crop
as follows;
From personal observation and iiligent inquiry
through Illinois and Indiana we are convinced the
prospect for good crop of wheat IN that region
was never better than it is Much fear Of fail
ure had been entertained there as well here but
we hope from present indications, it may prove
groundess and that the farmer and all others con-
cerned, viii have cause to rejoice in the abundance
Of the coming harvest
The AshevIlle N. c. Advocate says; So far as
we have OeeH able 10 see and hear within the
last week, the fears that no wheat would be rails
ed are groundless. The crop viii. 50 far as
present indications show, be at least an average
Ones'
The Chester Is. c. Standard says: 9" We are in
formed by our friends from various sections of the
District that the wheat crop is beginning to assume
a better appearance, and although it has been in
jured considerably by the cold weather, there may
yet be- take this district over reasonable amount
raised. In some sections and IN particular fields
there will be little ornO wheat while in others hopes
are entertained Of reasonable yield We are glad
that the prospect for crop is growing more favor
able, and hope that It will prove better than was
expected
The DoylestowE (Pa) Democrat says: F." The pros
pect Of an abundant harvest as we learn from farm
er friends, is fattelng as it has been in any
past year The grain appears to have sustained but
very little injury during the winter, even in low
ground, and is now coming up most beautifully;
while the sunny days and refreshing rains which
will soon favor US, will set everything all right
Should no accident happen the omens are all auspi-
cious for splendid harvest in this section of the
country.
The Bedford Pa) Independent SAYS: The wheat
cop in some portions of this county looks unusually
fine while In other portions it is very unprOmsing
AT TINS season OF the year, however, It Is hard to
form correct idea of tie wheat crop.
A correspondent Of the Aurora (Ia.) Commercial
writes The prospect for a crop Of wheat the eAsu-
ing season grows better every day; where a few
weeks ago it looked to be badly winter killed, II
now has the appearance Of fair yield. The ground
was never in better order than It will be for plOw
ing this spring, with a fair season we may look
/ for an abundance.
The BarAboo OYis) Republic says Our farmers
were last year a good deal discouraged about sue
cessfully cultivatng winter wheat and accordingly
have done almost nothing toward raising that vari-
/ ETY. for the coming harvest But the deficiency in
that crop viii be abundantly atOned for under the
auspices iOf a favorable season. by the many
acres Of land being and veto be plOwed for the
/ sowing Of spring wheat The prices Of this staple
crop the most reliable perhaps of this State having
nearly steadily advanced 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 imprOv-
ed to swell the number Of acres intended for its
! cultivation.
The Chicago Journal says: A gentleman. after pass
ing over the Michigan Central Railroad, informs the
I Detroit Advertiser that the growing wheat never
/ looked better thannow.
The Alton (Ill.) Courier says A gentleman from
the neighbOrhOod Of Ridgely, with whom we con
versed yesterday, reports the wheat prospects are
/ good for just about half crop he thinks. Early
. sOwnlO much the best. His business has called
him into various parts of the country and this is his
report on the whole of it. That in timber is much
more promising than that on the prairie.
The Mount Sterling. (Ky) Ninth Legion says that
an average crop Of wheat may be expected in that
region the present season.
