have suffered equally from cold and drouth
where they prevailed.
Hay.-The grass crop seems to have
sustained itself well--no where below
average in promise except IN Michigan,
New England and New York.
Potatoes promise decidedly better than
except perhaps in the far West.
FrUit-The apple crop has suffered
considerably, but not enough % reduce
the crop to average, or near il; and the
peachcrop still promises exceedingly well
The general average is abOnt 3 per
cent lower than last month. The aver
age prospects of farm crops (exclusive Of
Lfruit) is little above average. about 8
per cent above other years.
SO1yhNm.-We hare quite full reports
from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, and
few from Peunsylvania, Minnesota, Mich
igan and Wisconsin. Ia only a single
case is a decrease of surface reported-in
another, and equal surface-ih all taken
together. (70 reports, an increase
amounting in the mean TO nearly three
times the breadth cultivated for the past
Eve years. This must indicate a large
increase over last year. In the case Of
this cropit would be better could we COM
pare this years crop with that Of last
year instead of the i've years past The
prospects of the crops in Ohio ard Lndi-
ana. are better than average; in Illinois
alittle below, and In Iowa, Just about av-
erage. The crop now promises to make
itself feltin the market decidedly more
than last year.
Flar,-The reports from the. fax
growing counties of Ohio, Indiana, ILL.,
nois and Pennsylvania, uniformly repre-
sent much greater breadth sown than
usual, and The crop above the average
condition, and the same is true of scat
tered reports from other sections. They
all foot up two and half times as much
sown, and two-tenths better prospects
than usual.
Peas and Beans.-T These crops are
reported chiefly from the extreme North.
ern line of States and counties about two
thirds more than common have been
planted, and the crop does not promise
well on the whole
The Weather for the month from May
10Th to June 10th, has been exceedingly
diverse. in different parts of the country /;
even different parts of the same State
exhibit III numerous cases the results of
excessive rains, and for the season, of un-
usual local drouths, while in every State
larger or smaller sections have enjoyed
the happy medium which is the farmers
highest Joy in this respect. In. New
England, and the State of Maryland,
(Eastern) Virginia and Delaware, while
there has been some drouth,. sufficient to
reduce the hay and Spring grain crop
materially in sections Of New England,
the weather has been on the whole, bet
ter than an average season. In New
York and Pennsylvania, il has been less
favorable, severe drouth being reported
in many of the Northern, Western and
Middle counties Of New York, and in
Western Pennsylvania, and at the. same
time very cool weather has prevailed in
some of these same regions accompanied
by killing forests, while Central and par
ncularly Eastern Pennsylvania, and Eas-
tern New York, to a less degree have
suffered from powerful rains, causing
freshets, etc. The season is backward
every where, though where dry weather
has prevailed, Spring work has been well
done. In Ohio damage to crops from wei
weather, foods and frosts is reported,
though the dryness In some of the North
ern counties has amounted almost to
drouth. In Indiana, through the middle
counties there has been some trouble |
from drouth; in the southern from wet
while a similar state of things has pre- |
vailed in Illinois. The streaks so TO-
speak, Of wet and dry weather have Ia.
ken in a measure an oblique N. E. course
across the country. In Michigan there
are reports Of drouth and frost. In Wis
consin. cold, vet weather, drouth and |
frost are all reported. Iowa reports
speak of backward season, cold and wet |
lseverest changes and hardest storms
between the 20lh Of May and
the Isl Of June, since which time the |
weather has been more generally dry, |
in New England. Ia Maize,
there has scarcely been a
soaking rain since planting time, and the !
hay crop promises to be very light.
