Wheat CrOn.

Wheat Crop.
The San Francisco Bulletin gathers the follow
ing information in relation to the wheat crop in
the East.
The last steamer mail brought its additional
news respecting the crops in the Atlantic States.
From these accounts we gather the following in
regard TO the wheat crop. The recent warm
weather and frequent showers in New York had
been of great value to the crops, and the yield
of wheat was expected to be as large as for the
previous year while the other crop, we're still
better Late advices from Ohio represent the
spring crop as good. The yield of winter wheat
will be much larger than was anticipated in
May. Farm help was plentiful and wages mod
crate. Full granaries weCe expected in Ohio
this fall. Late sown wheatehad been affected
by the weeyil, but not seriously. The reports
from Indiana conflicting Correspondents
in Whitney county write that the crop there is
almost failure. great portion had been
wnter-killed, and the yellow weeyil were des-
trOying the remainder. One gentleman found
Il of these in a single grain. Reports Of a SINH
lar nature had been received from La Grange,
Upton and Howard counties. Cn the other
hand, the New Albany Ledger is informed that
wheat has come out wonderfully under the late
favorable weather, and the yield will be much
better than was anticipated few weeks ago
State the harvest had rlready commenced The
crop OF hay aud oats in these localities will be
unusually large. Somewhat varied accounts
have also been received from Illinois The
wheat crop in st. Clair county was unusually
fine, and thought 10 be larger than in any other
county in the State. In Madison county the
yield will be 25 bushels to the acre. Harvest,
ing had been commenced in Clinton county un-
der favorable auspices. In green county the

reaper. Spring wheat was doing well in Fulton
county; fall wheat poor. The crop was rather
thin on the ground in Richland county, but as
general thug was heading out well. Only one
third to one-half of = crop was expected in Craw-
ford county. About the same quality of land
had been sown in Macopin county as last year,
and larger returns were expected. Spring wheat
looking well in Knox county. No appear
ance of the chinch bug there. The yield in
Jersey county was thought to be safely estima>
ted at ,25O,000 bushels. In Iowa. wheat was
looking as well as it bad been seen there for
or 10 years. The usual breadth of land had
been sown. In Missouri, for the extent of land
sOwn the crop, as general thing, was good
In some parts Of the State the farmers had fiu-
iShed their harvesting. No scarcity of grain
was apprthended. The Warrensburg Journal
says the yield of wheat is much larger than usu-
al, and will average 90 bushels 10 the acre for
the inhabitants of that city will become export
ersi instead OF importers of breadstutfs. As an
instance of prolific growth, it is stated that
Judge Russell, of Iron county in that State, pro-
duced this year from single grain of wheat a
stool of IS stalks, averaging 20 grains each, or
an aggregare of 2, l75 grains. Were a bushel
and half (the ordinary quantity) sown on an
acre, and produced in the proportion that his
grain has done, the yield would be S,2623 bush
els on the acre. From careful survey of diff
ferent localities, the wheat crop of Wisconsin is
thought to be safely calculated an average
yield. In some parts of the State the crop will
be unusually large, while elsewhere il will be
limited. The Trenton New Jersey State Ga
zette says that wheat in that vicinity will be very
poor, having been attacked by the red weevil
The same is true in regard to the crop in a por-
tion ofPennsylvania. of The work of harvesting
in Tennessee was commenced during the latter
part of June, and the returns were larger than
had been anticipated a month previous. In some
parts of Georgia the crop has been harvested
and is in excess of half average. In Mary
land the farmers commenced cutting their wheat
during the last week in June. Tie field har-
vests exhibited great increase on what was ex-
pected from them few weeks ago. The yield
in the State will be fully as large as last year,
and the quality of the wheat much better The
st. Paul (Minn) Pioneer states that at the Red
River settlement, 500 miles north of the Falls Of
St. Anthony, 80 bushels of whent to the acre
is ordinary average crop. The foregoing
comprises the latest printed accounts which
have been received in this city concerning the
wheat crop in the Atlantic States, In England,
according to Mr.. Turner's annual report to the
London Times, there is reasonable hope for an
average crop of wheat, though the harvest will
be late, in consequence of the unproptious
weather in the early spring.
