CROPS IN MIssoURr.-ESC -URAGGSG PRosPECrs.-We
doubt if the fields of Missouri presented better
appearance than now, gave promise OF more boun-
tiul yield of grain fruit and other staple products
There is but account from all portions OF the State.
Wheat standing thick on the ground and looking as
thrifty and vigorous as it could look; pastures covered
with the deusest aud richest clover and grass and stock
growing fat ard sleek the fresh grazing; the fruit
trees covered with buds young fruit that have thus
far escaped the Frost oats sprugug up thrifty and Wig
orousy and farmers everywhere busy all day long pow-
ing and putting in" big crop OF corn The prospect
is most f4teFing and cheering. The breadth OF wheat
soRn was unusually large and the Of plant
ed will be larger than usual. With untimely frost,
there will be an abundance of fruit and if the season
should not be uniavorable for grsn, we will have the
most bountiful harvest gathered in Mssouri-St
Lonis NeRs.
