THE CROPS
ILLINOIS

In Southern Illinois, the peach crop
was, two weeks ago, very promising,
and, unless affected by the recent celd
weather, the yield will be very laf6e.
Peaches are grown in that region very
extensively.
The 4ledo (Ill.) Record, of May 30,
says: ,.,,, ,,o
mast week, been engaged i'll replanting
their corn, the unfavorable weather of
the past few weeks having had the effect
to rot the seed in the ground.
The Alton (Madison County, lll) TEL
eqraph has the following:
The wheat is looking splendidly, and
the weather for the last few weeks has
been lust what was needed to bring il
forward, so as to cause it to produce the
largest possible yield. 1t stands so thick
on the ground that, if it had been a very
wet or warm spring, it would have
grown so rank as to cause it to fall, or
been very liable to be destroyed by rust.
1t is now Just beginning to slow the
heads, and, if the remaining portion OF
the season continues as favorable as it
Las been, Madison and adjoining coun-
ties will harvest the heaviest wheat
crop which has ever been gathered in
this section of Illinois.
The Bureau County Patriot says:
We find much larger breadth OF
ground in grain than we had supposedi
and, notwithstanding the backwardness
of spring we think the harvest Will be
bountiful one. q
The Springfield, Ill, Republican of May
II remarks:
As near as we are able to Judge, after
a careful examination of our exchanges,
we are satisfied that the wheat crop in
this State this Summer will not he more
than two-thirds of an average yield, if
il is one.half. The spring sown wheat
promises better, and NAV turn out more
productive than any anticipate.
A correspondent from Springfield mn
der date of May 26, says:
This section of the State has been
visited with n glorious outpouring Of
rain, which fell in coPious quantities
dnrinp the afternoon Of Saturday and
the whole of yesterday 1t has thor.
onghly saturated the ground, and
reached the point of the longest root.
4 new life has been impaired to vegeta
tion. and the grain and vegetable crops
are now fully insured The meadows
are luxuriant, the fruit prospects are
very good, and there is every indication
of a bountiful harvest.
Intelligence received since the frost
on the Iith and 18th ult., is TO the effect
that less damage was done than was at
first supposed, and that fruit was not
materially injured.
INDIANA.
Generally, the reports from Indiana
are not favorable. The wheat crop Will
unuuestionably be one-third below an
average. Hopes are entertained that
the. corn crop will be good. A large
breadth has been planted, and, so far 10
looks well
The Lebanon Warren CO.. Star, Of
the 2ith ult., says
The frosts of the early part Of last
week about finished the little remaining
remnant of the fruit crop. From all
parts of the country-and indeed from
| all sections of the State-we hear the
same report: " No fruit this year" -
Peaches are killed apples ditto; pears
ditto; cherries ditto; aud even currants
and gooseberrles will fall far short OF
the usual yield. Farmers also present
very unfavorable reports of the gram
crop Wheat is almost a total failure;
Corn was planted early, but the cola
weather and the drouth seriously re-
tarded its growth. Oats and spring bar
lev will probably be short, and perhaps
light-headed.
The Ottawa county Union says:
The wheat prospects are somewhat
BRIGHTER now than was the case few
waeks ago There viii be from third
10 half a crop.
The Bucyrus Crawford County Jour
There are many contradictions in re
cord 70 the wheat crop Of this county
Rnt ON comparing noteSwe believe the
focts are. that on the plains and on th'
onan ground in the south part of th'
COUNTY the crop will be hght,-while OF
the wooded country north of Bucyru
the crop will be very good.
