about ten days, and unless some sudden and
unexpected calamity intervenes to blast the
present prospect, the yield will be the largest
ever gathered by our farmers The testi-
mony Of oil is unanimous that the crop is
uniformly good, exceeding in weight and
quality any former crop raised in the north
west.
From Colonel Baird and James Clark OF
Dakota County, Nebraska, We learn tina: the
crop in tina: County is all tina, the most
sanguine could desire. They estimate tina,
the crop in St. John precinct alone will
amount to 10000 bushels. aud that the
yield in the County will not fall short Of one
hundred thousand bushels. Other crops are
equally promising. Corn. although deIaye
in it's growth by the cold, wet weather Of
May and the fore part OF June, has prosper
ed finely during the last four weeks, aud is
As far advanced as usual at thi,
season Of the year, and promises an abun-
dant yield Oats. barley, potatoes, &c, ar,
looking exceedingly we'll, and taking into
consideration the fact that moc1 larger
than usual amount Of land is under cultva-
ton. the product will be largely in excess o:
general expectation.
Similar reports come to US from Dakota
Territory, where the breadth of ground
planted is largely increased. Every kind Of
crop looks as we'll AS could be desired, and
the results Of the present h,rvest will tIl,he
Territory with abundance and good cheer
In Plymouth County the crops ale equally
good, and the number of acres culti> ated
much m re numerous than in any previous
year Especially is this the case in the
Floyd Valley, where the number Of IA mers
has nearly doubled during the past year.
The farmers Of Plymouth County are a
thrifty, industrious cla-., aud are rapidly
developing one Of the fines, farming sections
in the State.
We had conversation on Wednesday
With Judge Morehead, Of Ida County, who
gave US q very favorable account of the
crops in the counties east and south east
of as. During the last fortnight he has
travelled through Ida, Sac, Calhoun, Craw-
ford, Woodbury. and part of Mcnona coun-
ties, and it is his opinion that wherever be
has been the average Yield Of whea,
will not fall short of thirty bushels per
acre, and oats from forty to sixty. Other
crops promise a corresponding yield, AID
indie atoms are that the farmers throug hout
the entire western part of the State will
have 'full and plenty Of every hing. The
Judge passed down the Little Sioux Vall-y
from Correc'ionville to Southland, and says
that the crops in that splendid valley are
unusually promising. The quantity of land
under ti'lage is nearly If not qni'e double
that Of previous years, and the same to a
great extent is true Of all the farming settle
ments through which he passed. Very large
tracts Of prairie land are being broken, and
next year the increase 10 the breadth of
the crops will be equal If not greater than
that Of this saason.
w. N. Collamer, Of Y#nk,on, called upon
rs yesterday, end says that the crops
throu shout Dakota, are immense. In Union,
Clay and Yank,on counties the breadth of
land cultivated is large and the whea: pro-
