CROPS IN THE NORTHWESTERN
STATES.

From the Chicago Tine, of Tuesday, We
CLEAN the following in relation to the crops
and harvest in the States named:
ILLINOIS.
Living ton county: "Wheat in this section
will average about u bushels per acre. Rye
not much sown. Corn looks well but late.
Oats and potatoes promise we'll Fruit
plenty"
Mason county: Fall wheat is a failure
Spring wheat will be an average crop. Oats,
corn, potatoes, fruit and grass will make fair
crops"
Lone Point: "There will be about an
average crop Of wheat. Oats better than
an average. Corn backward but looking
finely"
Stark county: "Wheat crop rather thin,
but think there will be about three-fourths
Of a crop. Oats and corn promise we'll.
Grass Is light"
Vermillion county: "WeshaIl have about
half a crop Of wheat of good quality. Corn
and oats look we'll"
Warren county: The little fall wheat
sown has proved failure. We have large
breadth Of spring wheat which promises to
make very fair crop. Rye, barley, oats and
corn promise a middling yield. Potatoes
are badly injured by the bugs"
INDIANA.
Boon county: 1--WE shall not raise more
than one-half Of a crop in this section. 1t
was badly winter-Hlled. Corn and oats
look we'll, but all crops are suffering for
want Of rain. The grass-hoppers are de-
stroying some meadows, and our hogs are all
dying with the cholera"
IOWA.
Decatur county: "The wheat crop bids
fair TO be good. Winter wheat is now ready
TO harvest. The amount far exceeds that of
last year. Corn, rye and oats look we'll.
Fruit almost an entire failure"
Page county: wheat is better than last
year; one quarter more soWn. Oats and
other grains look we'll"
Decatur county: "Wheat and oats never
looked better than they do at this time.
Corn also promises we'll"
Kossuth county: wheat and oats look
well, but on account of the backwardness Of |
the season the harvest will be late, and may
be failure yet. The hay crop viii be |
heavy"
Lucas county: "Fall wheat is scarcely
worth harvesting. Spring looks we'll |
about twice the breadth sown last year. |
Oats and grass look well. Corn is back |
ward"
Guthrie county: "Wheat rather more |
than usual. Wenever had a fairer prospect |
Of an abundant harvest Oats and corn are |
in good condition"
WISCONSIN.
Crawford county: "Corn and oats pro- |
mise we'll The breadth of wheat sown is as
large as usual, and the prospect very good.
Other crops look we'll. Fruit in this section
is a total failure
Vernon county: "Our wheat was never
better. 1t will yield from twenty TO twenty
FIVE bushels per acre, from present appear
ances. Shall have heavy crop of oats.
Corn looks we'll"
Monroe county: Winter wheat badly
killed. Spring wheat looks well, and pro-
misses good crop. Oats and corn look fair"
Washington county: "Crop prospects
very favorable in this county. Spring wheat
and barley are very good. The same may
be said Of oats. Corn is backward"
MICHIGAN.
Lawrence county: Winter wheat badly
killed. The nudge attacked it in the spring,
bat the recent rains have checked their raw
lges. Many have about a third of crop.
Corn backward. Oats never better"
Alligan county: The wheat is good,
especially in the south part of the county.
Corn is very late, but may make 4 good
crop"
MINNESOTA.
Waseca county: The prospect for a
heavy crop Of wheat and oats never looked
better. Corn was planted late, but we shall
have an average crop"

fne, and promises an abundant harvest.
Corn, oats, potatoes, &c, look well.D
Steele county: There is every prospect
Of beautiful harvest in this section, Of all
kinds Of grain"
MISSOURI.
Andrews county; The prospects for a
good crop Of all sorts of grain are very en-
oouraging. Winter wheat is harvested and
will average twenty-five bushels per acre.
Oats, rye, barley, corn and potatoes look
very promising.
DaViess county: The wheat crop this
year is unusually good. 1t will average
twenty-five bushels per acre. Allother crops
