| A mass of information as to the crops OF
the Northern and Western States and the
Canadss, which has been collected and
conveniently arranged in tabular form,
| will be found on another page. At d
glance may be ascertained the yield of the
different crops of each County of each
State-that is, the amount of each as COM
pared with the ordinary crop, and the
quality. These reports, sent us by tele-
graph, are for many of the States com
plete, and for all embraced in the lists are
full enough TO enable an average to be. col
lected.
: On the whole, there ara good crops the
country through The dry season has had
its effect, but not to the extent of DESTROY
ing harvest in many places, not even of
reducing them, as was expected, largely
below the average. In New York State.
for instance, the crop of wheat is estimated
at from One-sixth to one-half less than
usual in eight Counties, while in the
remainder it is full average crop or more
Corn is much worse in proportion-the
proportion in fact being about reversed. so
that in not more than eleven counties does
the yield come up to the averge. In one,
Chsutauque, it is one-fifth more. In ali
therest, it is from one-tenth to two-thirds
less than the average, Oats, again, do
even worse than this, but that deficiency
is partly balanced by full average crop
of rye. Hay is at least one-third less than
usual ..-, .-.-
