The Crops.

\
winter wheat, rye, spriBg wheat and
oats look finely, but there is not so large
a breadth soEn in many places as corn,
for feeding, is the principal crop, and as
a kind Providence has aided, much of it
has been well put in the ground. What
was planted first is now making its ap-
pearance. Grass in meadows and pas.
lures looks we'll, aud cows-of which
between Nv" and three hundred are
kept in tbs eigbborhood-are yielding
plentiful supply of milk. Apple and
cherry trr-- now look very promising
also the small fruits. The Iowa, Dela.
ware, and ey5n some of the Concord
grapes tina: we're vigorous growers last
wear, and werS left uncovered, have been
injured or klled-but the Concord
generally looks well
jackson. MICH.-We have made
careful inquiries as to the state Of the
crops from persons from various parts of
the counHy and they all give discour-
aging rcpu,ts. From what we learn
there will uoF be hardly half a. crop.
The recent drought is having o bad
effect, which aided TO the unfavorable
weather dur,Da the early part of the
spring, ren4,Es the wheat prospect very
poor Glover Is almost n total loss.
Oats are hackward, and there is but
poor prespeat for them.
MONROE. Wis Last Wednesday night
there wa another heavy frost IN this
vicinity, aud t coating of ice frozen on
water exposed 10 the atmosphere. Early
corn and bcaus were killed. and other
garden prodGcts were more or less in
jured The weather has been dry and
cold for some weeks past, and high
winds prevailed most of the time.
BLooMINGT IN, ILL.-It is too early to
prophesy in regard to our wheat crop.
At present it is looking rather poorly.
Owing to the dry weather, wheat stands
thin on the grouAd, and is rather short,
lacking the richness of appearance so
common at this season. However. there
is time enough for seasonable rains to
bring it out nearly as good as ever.
Oats are also short, but there is more
time for that crop to recover itself. Corn
was planted very deep generally, owing
to the dry weather. and it is not coming
up even, though there will be about an
average stand Grass will be nearly a
failure if the ground is not thoroughly
soaked soon. Apples are starting finely.
Fruit, with the exception of peaches is
generally good
GALESBURG, ILL.-Wednesday night
of last weak very sharp frost nipped
the tender vegetation in this section,
and injured the fruit prospects quite
seriously in some localities
BELLEv1LLE, ILL-The Democrat says:
Appearances are decidedly favorable
for a good yield of wheat in this county
the coming harvest. A large breadth of
land has been sown with wheat, and if
the weather continues as good as it has
been thus far, until the grain ripens, we
may expect crop that will compensate
in Soma dasrae for Iaho short vUmlnRs or
last year. Oats and corn likewise look
promising"
HARVARD, ILL.-In Southern lllineis
the wheat is looking splendid 1t is
now just beginning to head, and if the
balance of the season is favorable, there
will be gathered a very heavy crop.
We made flying visit through the
counties OF Carol, Stephenson and Win
nebago, OIL Monday last, and found that
the spring and winter grain was looking
WELL uuv '''i- % nnnch needed
MONTICELLO, ILL. We learn through
some Of the farmers that the fall wheat
throughout Platt county has been so
injured that not more than half a crop
will be harvested, but report that spring
wheat, notwithstanding the drought
which has hitherto prevailed, is looking
up, and now promises fair crop. Dur.
ing the early part of the present spring
we have had little or no rain, in conse.
quence of which all vegetation has
suffered more or less. The peach crop
appears to be almost an entire failure,
50 far as We car learn, throughout the
country, but apples, pears, cherries,
plums, and those Of more hardy nature,
are promising more than all average
crop We learn, however, that fair
prospects for an abundance Of peaches
are presented in tbs oouthorn portions
of the State, consequently we need not
entirely despair of that luxury.
