|Ohio and Indiana appear, to have suffer-
ed most from winter killing, A pros
pect for thlrty'four per cent of a crop of
winter wheat in Indiana is sufficiently
discouraging. An increase oftour tenths
OF the average growth OF spring wheat
will afford some little relief, and ought
to bring up the average to halt a CROP
Ohio is reported at four tcnths for winter
wheat with two and onehalt tenths
more for spring wheat, than usual, with
as little prospect for winter wheat as
Indiana. Quite so large an increase of
spring wheat, will give about the same
result, half an average crop. Illinois,
now our greatest wheat growing State,
promises seven-tenths of a crop of winter
wheat. As the spring wheat which is
the main dependence tor a crop, in por>
tons of the State, is nearly as good as
usual, at least three.fourths of a crop
of that should be expected in this State
In Wisconsin the winter wheat is re
ported at six and one third tenths, with
one and three, fourths more spring wheat
than usual, which should secures three
fourths of an average crop tor this State.
In Iowa the appearance of winter wheat
is nine tenths, spring ten and three>
quarters breadth, of the latter twelve
and one-eighth. This should give at
least an average crop for Iowa, In
Pennsylvania the wheat crop Is eight
tenths. In Missouri the prospect for
full crop of winter wheat is reported with
one.haf tenth or five per cent, more than
the usual breadth Of spring wheat, look
ing nearly as well as usual at this season

Massachusetts, a full growth OF spring

average in Maine, and fraction lower
than an average in the other States -
Winter wheat, where it is grown at all,
has suffered to the extent of one and
two.tenths, and in Vermont and Con-
necticut ,tenths. New Jersey is
placed in the same list vii New York
and Pennsylvania, at eight>tenths, and
Delaware, Maryland and West Virginia,
will each average about sx-tenths. The
section west OF the Mississippi, compris>
ing Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, and
Kansas, taken together, promises more
than an average crop CT wheat.
CLoyER--More clover was sown than
usual, and it is reported in tall average
condition, i'll Delaware and Missouri tho
appearance Is worse, though the increas
ed average will make up the deficiency

general falling off is observed in the

Sheep took the field this spring in bets

neglect, and consequently disease and

FRUIr-A medium crop OF apples is
indicated, though there is variation in
the appearance in different localities in
New England and the extreme West.-
The prospect is better than usual IN the
central States. Peaches have suffered
from winter killing very greatly. In
Ohio, scarcely athird of crop is expect.
