Crop InteIIIgence,

The few countrymen who have ventured TO town
the last week report the wheat crop as the finest
prospect we have had for several years, expressing
some fears however, that owing to the scarcity Of
feed for STOCK it may be injured by late pasturing.
--GaIldtia TeaH.l Courier, March 20.
The wheat crop of this country was never more
promising than at present A favorable season
from this time on will insure overwhelming crop.

.Thelwheat crop we.sre told is unusually promising.
a large amount Of land has been devoted to the
CROP while the season has been highly favorable,
and the plant is well advanced aud thrifty. An
" and liberal harvest is confidently expected
Fayetteville (Teau.) Observer, March IA.
Wheat and rye are said to be very promising, and
the farmers seem to be rejoicing at the prospects
ahead. We have had some severe frOstS the present
week, but if We have no more this season, there
win be bountiful yield of fruit this year.-SPartG

The farmers of Illinois have every reason to be
satisfed with the appearance Of the wheat crop at
this time We have reliable information fren more
than twenty counties of Southern Illinois, giving
assurances that during the past the wheat
Sslds in March have never appeared so promising
as now The growth is admirably well set, covers
the ground well, is healthy sud strong, encourage
ing large expectations of fall grsnsries at the close
of the season. The amount sown last fall was unu'
suay large and 1861 bids fair to be distinguish
ed in Illinois fer the stlasnt wheat harvest as was

. We have ne material change to make in our re-
mort from last weeks issue. The weather for the
mast week has been continuation of the two weeks
preyious Farmers are having unusually favorable
weather for planting and all outdoor work. The
slight frost has not that we could learn, done any
great damage although it is supposed that some
fruit may be killed along the water courses.-Ad-
con (Gd) Messenger March IA.
In conversation with many of the farmers of
Marshall county during the past week, we are happy
10 learn that the wheat crop OF this county bids
fair 70 be better than ever before. large amount
of land has been sown in wheat, and the winter has
been so favorable for its growth that we may look
for an unusually large CROP We would not be
surprised TO see Marshall exporting wheat and flour
tho coming summer,-Holy Spring (AiSs) Herald,
March IS. -
From, late personal observations in Gktibbeha, in
Choctaw in Attala and from the information we
have from other counties in Central Mississippi we
entertain doubt that the growing wheat crop IN
this portion of the State now in the most flourish
ing condition ever known and promises 70 yield a
most abundant harvest. Many of the above named
counties will raise a suffciency TO do them an
aone 10 spare-heSciShcO Miss. Chronicle, March g.
Our advices from all parts Of the State are to the
sFact that the wheat crop is entirely unDjured by
ths frosts and that everywhere farmers are ssngu
me of another abundant hsrvest.-DstroH Mich. }
