As the crops are now looked forward to
with more than usual anxiety, the follow
ing crop news from all sections Of the
country will be read with interest. In
Maryland our country exchanges predict
an extraordinary yield Of grain and fruit
Calitornid.-In this State the agricultu-
raj prospects are excellent. The grain
crops in the valleys Of the Sacramento,
San Joaquin, and Tullarc, are generally in
fine condition. A much greater breadth
Of land is sown to wheat than last year.
I. Connecticut.--A smaller area than usual
will be devoted to tobacco. Grain crops
are looking well. Fruit is beyond the
reach of probable frost.
| Illinois The breadth Of wheat sown is
unusually large, and il is growing magnif-
Gently. All other crops are in flourish
ing condition. Fruit Of all kinds promises
! to be abundant.
acknowledgements an average yield.
Fruit is in favorable condition.
| Indidnd.-In the southern and central
portions of the State wheat is in excellent
condition, but there is some complaint of
its being frozen out in some localities fur
Their north. Frost has injured some of the
most tender fruit, but the yield generally
will be good.
Kansas.-There will be an unusually
large crop Of corn and wheat in the State
unless the grasshoppers interfere with it.
Maine.-The small amount of winter
wheat sown looks well. A large amount
of ground will be planted with spring crops
of all kinds.
Massachusetts, winter wheat was
sown last fall than usual, and spring wheat
will be generally sown. Fruit indications
are favorable.
Michigon.-Wheat prospects are good,
the plants look green and vigorous, and
there is every prospect of bounteous
yield.
MinneSota.-The breadth of land that
will be sown in spring wheat will be larger
than ever, and, as failure was never
known in this State, We may calculate
upon large harvest.
Ne6rdska.-This State has one Of the
finest prospects for good crops ever known.
Ne,p HdmpShire.-The winter wheat is
not injured, and the farmers are planting
and sowing largely.
Nelo JerSey.-The season is backward,
but all crops are looking finely throughout
the State. The fruit will, as usual, be
very fine.
Ne,c Tork.-The wheat is vigorous,
growing finely, and gives promise of more
abundant harvest than for several years.
Fruit is generally good, but peaches have
been winter killed in some sections.
NeUddd.-Reports from this part Of the
country are favorable, though meagre.
Ohio.-Winter wheat is doing better
than for several years, but the failure for
several seasons has discouraged farmers,
and the amount sown was not as large as
usual. Other kinds Of grain and all va
rietes of fruit promise well.
Oregon.-The winter wheat has not been
injured, and all kinds of grain will be
planted literally this spring.
PennSyludnid.-It is said that no news is
good news. We have few reports from
this State, but those few are all favorable
Of the growing crops.
Rhode LSland.-There will be an unusu-
ally large yield Of grain and fruit.
Vermont The farmers are tired Of pay
ing enormous prices for wheat and flour,
and are making unusual exertions to raise
their own wheat, with good prospects Of
success.
WiScOnSin.-Wheath has fresh and vigor-
Gus appearance, and the breadth sown will
probably be one-third larger than usual.
