FROM the Nav YORK commereiaI Advertiser

From the Nav York Commercial Advertiser
Some six weeks since we gave a full
statement of the appearance of the grow
ing crops in all the States, North and
South, founded upon the reports commu-
nicated from the Department of Agrlcui-
ture, and those received through our ex-
changes.
This statement presented most encour-
aging prospects for our cereals IN nearly
every quarter. Again, taking a cuIsory
view Of the country, after an interval OF a
month and a half, we find that the hopes
and expectations then raised have not
been disappointed. In some regions the
rust and destructive insects have made IN
roads upon the growing crops, but as a
general thing they are yielding and Will
continue to yield all that they gave prom
Use of earlier in the season. No heavy
and untoWard showers haver retarded their
growth: neither has a lack of sufHeIent
rain parched and dried up the soil, there
Nv deriving them of needy nourishment.
The destructive and dreaded weevll has
NOT made its temperance. nor have 9TH
er enemies to the husbandman encroach-
ed upon his substance to any extent
God has smiled upon, the face of the land,
and the golden horn of plenty is filled to
overlooking.
The reports received this month at the
Agricultural Bureau from every part of
the country go to show that the yield OF
potatoes, corn and hay, will be more pro-
life than during any preceding season;
fully one-third more grass has been cut
than ever before In one single year. Glane-
ing At the returns of the State individual
". we learn that all the crops are IN a
most fousishing condition in New York.
The wheat growing tier of counties have
surpassed the most sangulne expectations,
and secured abundant fields of grain un-
injured by rust, Weevl or nudge. Corn,
oats Spring barley and potatoes are rep
resented as looking superb The same
is true to a certain extent OF PennsyIYa-
MIA, although in some counties, such as
Alleghany, insects have OeeasIoned some
destruction. Though not so encourag-
ing, the reports from the great cereal pro-
ducing States further West are stIli5hIgh-
" favorable. An exhibit of the condi-
ton Of the crops in thirty-three counties
of Indiana show that with'the exception
of wheat they have yielded finely Corn,
cat and potatoes are giving greater re-
turns than for many years before. The
farmers have aIsoabeen blessed with heavy
CROPS of hay and rye, while barleyislook-
ing unusually well. Wheat has been con-
siderably damaged.
Carefully prepared reports OF the crops
in Illinois and Iowa show that wheat,
though injured in some localities, will be
more than an average yield. and of agood
quality. Oats, rye and hay have done re-
| markably we'll. Corn though backwards
verythrifty. Copious showers in Wiscon-
sin have dispelled fears of a~drought, en-
/ tertained earlier in the season, and judg-
ing from the reports of ten counties be-
fore us the Hoosier State viii present a
crop record fully as encouraging as that
of Illinois.
In Michigan the cereals promise an a.
bundant yield, though the interference of
smut and rust may reduce the Wheateropr
which earlier in the season gave promise
of an extraordinary return, to about the
average crop. The farmers of Ohio have
feared that their crops would be injured
by the rain, but the results of the harvest
show that such has not been the case.
The returnes from the Eastern States
present a most encouraging exhibit. The
pototo crop for the year is estimated, In
Maine alone, at S,O00.OOO bushels.
From nearly all the Southern States the
erop reports continue favorable. Wheat,
corn and oats, in Tennessee, are unusual
fy hne. The same is true of all the ce-
reals in Georgia, with the exception of
wheat. Our New Orleans exchanges
speak most encouragingly of the Agricul-
tural reports from Louisiana. The Sherve-
port News says that the crop of corn on
the Red River will be immense" A
Texas journal adds that the wheat crop,
though affected somewhat by rust, will be
large, larger perhaps than ever before
in that State. Our Richmond exchanges
report very favorably in regard to the con
dition of the crops in Virginia. North and
South Carolina.
The present year will be one of the
most eVentful In our history, browning
alike the labors of our soldiers with peace,
tiful harvests.
