Wheat Prospects.

rom various parts of the country. that
he crop in Independence county will fall
hort over half The most hourishiDg
ield that we have seen will not make
more than half the usual crop. This ari
,es from the long drought with which the
country has been visited for the last Blk
IL onths.
From the Springfield (Mo) M'ffoI,
24th.-Durinx our recent trip We took
more pains to inquire and notice the pros
poets for good wheat crop this season,
ard our conclusion is that not more than
half a crop will be raised. Some ieW
fields present tolerable fair appearance
for half crop, whilst oD others the seed
will not be mace.
The Vincenncs Gnd) Gasehe says :
Although the prospect for an abundant
weld of wheat this season is very slim in
this county, We are glad to learn that this
state of things is not universal. The In
dianapolis Jouaal says the wheat crop in
Marion and adjoining counties looks we'll
and promises we'll. The Madison Curier
says the same. Iu many places in Hi
nois the wheat never looked better at this
season.
The Hillstoro' (Tll) Herald =
We had opportunity at the recent term
of the Circuit Court to converse with ma
ny farmers upon the subject of the wheat
prospect in Montgomery county, and
% ost of them conour in the opinion that
there would not be more than half crop
raised in the county. Some fields that
were sown early look well and promise a
fair yield, while others that were sowp
late, will hardly be worth cutting. ibis
has been the experience of farmers for
many years past. and they have been suf-
fciently aduonished to hereafter put ID
their wheat crop early.
The Minneapolis State NeacS Of the Gath
SAYS: Wheatis now commanding e3 cents
in our market. Mr.. Thomas Mou|ton
proprietor of the steamer Enterprise, es,
tins ates that there are about 5000 bush
els of wheat up the Mississippi for ship
meut this spIing. 1t is anticipated that
the potato trade will be large the coming
season.
The Lake City Tribune says: Grain
is pouring into Lake City in rich profu
sion. From As, goo SO 10000 bushels Of
wheat hage been brought here since the
harvest, and the cry is ''still it comes. -
Not bushel was brought in during 1855
but on the contrary, our farmers were
hemselves supplied with -four from Hi
nois. What will another year do for Us
Minnesotians The reports of the condl
ton of the growing wheat, says the Par
kersburg (Va) Gazette, from nearly al
parts of the country are favorable. II
no quarters have we noticed other thar
iatter!ng accounts thus far, unless we ex
eept the late soWn wheat in part OF Ken
tucky.
The Kankakee III Democrat says Of tht
wheat crop 10 that county: A few days
ago we enjoyed the opportunity OF taking
short trip in the country, ami were
much pleased to see winter wheat looking
so we'll, especially that which had beer
sown amongst corr; it really had an ex
cellent appearance, and promises wei
thus far for good crop. The farmer
look happy in anticipation of an abund
ant reward as the fruits of their labor
The spring ploagbiDg seemed to be pro
crossing finely, and some, We understand
bad commenced to SOW their spring wheat
IF the earth is caused to yield aD sbund
ant crop this year, we may look forward
with certainty to more prosperous times
and we know OF no place better adapte'
for agricultural and mechanical pursuit
than KaDkakce county, and no place tha
will be more likely to enjoy its share o
prosperity.
From inquiries, says the CarrOlltol
Press, made of farmers from various por
tons Of the country, we conclude that 'b'
prospect for crop Of wheat is much bet
ter than was hoped few months ago
The early sown fields are generally look
ing well, while those put in late, of whicl
but little has been entertained, some field
now promise a fair yield. Doubles
there was much sown that will yield bu

less hereafter injured, we have reason t
anticipate a fair crop.
The Montgomery Free Press says: Re
ports from different portions of this an
adjoining counties, say that late sow
wheat is entirely killed out, while earl
sown and that put in with drill or plo'
is looking fine.
The Randolph Journal says:-Th
wheat between here and Indianapoli
looks fine. The winter has been unusu
ally favorable, and unless good deal
thawing and freezing without snow beior
tie first of April, wheat in this part 9
Indiana will have fine start for an abun
dant harvest.
Farmers FROM all parts of the countr
assure US that it is impossible, even wit
, the most favorable weather from now ii
harvest, for the wheat crop to come up t
the average. The late rains have revive
, it considerably, bat great deal has bee
so badly killed that its making anythln
! like crop is impossible. We dislike
