Tur WET WEATHER AND THE
SPRING CROPS.

Much alarm begins to be manifested
throughout northern and central Illinois,
with regard to the coming crops OF spring
grain. During the last four or five weeks
!, ha. rained almost daily, till the soil Is SO
thoroughly saturated with water as to pre-
clude the possibility for some time OF either
blowing, sowing, or planting, The danger
Of hi. shortening Of the season is felt donbIy
a, this time, in consequence of about 5o,ooo
Of our Illinois farmers being now withdrawn
from the state to fight for the union. In or
binary times, even when tho spring work is
forced close upon summer, by the employ
men, Of extra help much of the danger IS
syer,ei but at the present the prospect Is
gloomy enough.
