The reports of the condition of the grow
ing wheat, says the Parkersburg (Na.)
Gozenr, from nearly all parts of the coun-
try are favorable. In no quarters have
We noticed other than fattcrng accounts
thus far, unless we except the late sown
wheat in part Of Kentucky.
ILLINoIs-Thc Kankakce (Gll) Dan
ocrat says of the wheat crop in thatrounty
a few days ago we enjoyed the opportuni-
ty Of taking a short trip in the country,
and were much pleased TO see winter wheat
looking so we'll, especially that which had
been sown amongst corn; it really had an
excellent appearance, and promises well
thus far for n good crop. The farmers
look happy in anticipation of an abund dant
reward as the fruits Of their labor. The
spring ploughing seemed to be progressing
finely, and some we understand, had com
menced to SOW their spring wheat. If tn.
earth is caused to yield an abundant crop
thi, year, we may look forward with cer-
tainty to more prosperous times, and We
know of no place better adapted for agri
cultural and mechanical pursuits than
kankakec county, aud no place that will
be more likely to enjoy its share of pros.
pcrity.
From inquiries asys the Carrollton Pres,
made of farmers from various portions of
the country, We conclude that the prospect
for fair crop of wheat is much better
than was hoped IA few months ago. The
early sown fields are generally looking well
while Of those put in late, of which but IT.
tie hope has been entertained, some fclls
now promise fair yield. Doubtless there
was much sown that will yield but poor
return, but, upon the whole, unless hereaf-
ter injured, we have reason to anticipate a
fair crop.
The Montgomery Fre Press says -
Reports from different portions Of this and
adjoining counties say that late sown wheat
is entirely killed out, while early sown and
that put in with drill or plow is looking
fine.
INDIANA.-Thc Randolph Jowrnal says:
The wheat between here and Indianap
oils looks fine. The winter has been unu
sually favorable, and unless a good deal OF
thawing and freezing without snow before
the middle of April, wheat in this part ol
Indiana will have a fine start for an abun,
dant harvest.
( The WHEAT CRoP.-Farmers from al
parts Of the country assure us that it il
impossible, even with the most favorable
weather from now till harvest, for the
wheat crop to come up to the average
The late rains have revived it considerably
but great deal has been so badly killcC
that its making anything like a crop is i'm
possible. We dislike to "croak' as much
as anybody, but there seems to be no cs

The WHEAT CRoP-The Stauntol
! Jo1dacaIor says: The wheat crop is look
ing remarkably poomising in Augusta
and Rockingham counties. The indica
tons are also that there will be an abund

The CRoPs,-Our exchanges from al
directions tell us that the prospect of al
abundant harvest is now more fatterine
than it has been for years past Th,
