Crop Prospects.
r,..ksoa. Comfy Standard SAYS .

The Jackson County Standard says:
We learn from farmers that the present
prospect for Q bourtiful wheat harvest, in this
county is not fattering. A great deal OF
wheat was winter-killed, and subsequently is
exceedingly thin on the ground. Some fields
lock well, and in the absence of any casualty
hereafter, will produce full crop
The corn prospects, we learn, are very good
The late genial showers and fine weather are
advancing its growth rapidly.
The prospects for abundant supply of
fruit of all kinds. we learn, were never bet ter.
Peaches viii be sufficiently abundant Should
they not be destroyed hereafterl to meet the
wants of our people.
Upon the whole, we have reason to con-
graduate ourselves upon the prospects of an
ample supply of all things necessary to graft
fy our wants and necessities.
The Marion County Republican says:
There is every indication DOW that We vii
have the most abundant crops this season that
we have had for many years. The wheat
crop, which looked thin. aud badly winter
killed, SOME six weeks or two months since,
has revived wonderfully, and if 1t meets with
no accident between this and harvest, the crop

and promise heavy yield. The corn crop
has been got IN good order, and a very large
breadth planted and if the remainder of the
season is favorable, the crop will be the heavi-
est one ever raised in the county. The hus-
bandman has everything to encourage him,
and with his prosperity that of every class
10 community will be secured.
We read the following in the Ohio Farmer:
CaoPs IN STARK AND OTHER COUNTIES
Judge Kelley, of Massillon, Stark county,
Ohio, writes: Il wish you could see the
prospect of crops in Stark. She never prom
ised better crop. Everything looks well,
beyond description, and should no i'll luck be-
fall us, we will be all right after harvest. !
have Just returned from short trips in Tus
carawas and Carroll. Crops look right. I
saw very many fine focks of sheep in those
counties. think they are in advance of
many Others"
CRoPs IN EASTERN OH1a.--Our wheat was
Our wheat was very much winter killed, but
where there was any left standing it looks
very well, and think we will have a good
half crop of wheat, providing that nothing in
juries it after this. The worms are destroy
ing the corn to some extent. Oats look well.
The grass crop is unusually good The pros
pect for fruit is very good.
