day of last week, we are fully convinced
that, as reward fer al their toll. the
I farmers will not gather as much wheat Il;
harvest time as they sowed last fall. The
crop Is almost an entire failure. A large
portion OF the wheat crop is being put il
corn and oats.
Hrem ali We can gather from cur coun
try friends. we are led to the belief thai
the wheat crop in this county will be ;
failure. Some few pieces have. since the
recent rains, given promise of good yield
but generally il will not be worth much

thoir wheat looks better ths spring than i
has before for five wears, while others re-
port a total in ury. The wheat along tn,
banks of the river is looking excellent, bu

thin, and with most favorable weather vii

The MI Carmel (Ill.) Democrat say.
the wheat crop along the line of the Ohio
and Mississippi Railroad, west Of Vinccn'
mes, is looking uncommonly promising. and
the prospects are most tattering for ;
splendid crop the coming season. The late
sowing, however, does not promise well
The Alton Gil. Tieyroph says: The
prospect for an abundant crop Of wheat
was never better than it is this spring il
this part of Illinois We have made i'm,
qures of parties from all directions, anC
have received but one answer, that the
young crop never looked better at thi.
season of the year than it does now

abundant wheat crop are not very ha.tcr.
