CROP REPORTS.

the small Observation-Disclosures, rasber-
ries, currants and the like-nO finer
prospect could be desired. The hay
crop will be heavy. There never were
more cheering indications for wheat,
and the only regret is that more has, not
been sown. The only drawback now is
the com crop. The continued rainy
season rotted much that was planted,
necessitating replanting, and in some
localities this has not been attended to
as vet. But if our farmers can get all
their corn in by the middle of the pres
ent month, all will yet be we'll, and we
venture the prediction that, with late
fall, which we probably will have. the
yield in the corn crop will not fall be-
hind.
ILLINoIs.-From the country sections
of the State centering at Bloomington,
Springfield, Mattoon, Decatur, Chenoa,
SandOval, Dixon, and CentTalia, the
prospects are very good for large crop
of wheat, oats and rye, but corn is rep
resented backward, and most of it in
.jured by heavy rains and light frosts.
Peaches, apples, and fruits of all kinds,
promise to give an abundant yield.
I0wA.-Des Moines reports the wheat
crop in the northern and western parts
of the State looking finely. Muscatine
reports the fruit prospect in that region
never better, although there was con-
siderable fruit killed by the frosts and
storms. Around Pilot Grove and in
Boone County there had not been much
wheat planted, and what was sOwn
looked thin ON the ground. Oats were
doing we'll, and potatoes promised an
abundant yield. Wild frnit was look
ing we'll and the prospect was good.
LoU1sIANA.-The New Orleans Times
of Wednesday says:
The grain and cotton crops have a
vigorous and promising appearance.
The corn, which was such o sad failure
last season, has very vigorous start
The fruit product has everywhere in the
South proved almost total failure.
The peaches and pears were all nipped
in the bud by the frost. Ditto, to a
large degree, we fear it will prove with
the figs, usually our most reliable fruit
Melons alone, of every variety, promise
well.
The Shreveport Gazct of the LIST says:
We have conversed with our planters
from several parishes in this State, and
from counties in Eastern Texas. They
report that the prospect for corn crop
is very unfavorable. The planti is small,
and ON many plantations overrun with
grass and weeds.
ARKANsAs-The unfavorableness and
lateness Of the season thus far will cut
short the crop at least one-third, with
out any of the many other chances it
has to run.-Litle Rock News.
Another Little Rock paper says: "The
weather in this locality has been highly
unfavOrable to the growing crop. The
atmosphere has been very cool, the
thermometer ranging down about the
sixties. In the way of rain we have
had more than even the washerwomen
desire.
The Pine Bluff Dispatch says: 1.-THE
prospects for good crops, so far, are
good. Corn is doing nicely, and wheat,
wherever sowed, promises most abun-
dant yield.
New ENGLAND.-In New England, as
elsewhere, the prospect for the farmers
is excellent. The spring planting has
been delayed by the rains, and some
seeds that have been put in too early
have rOtted in the ground, and must be
planted over again, but the rains have
been just the thing for grass, which is
the great staple there, and the hay crop
this season will make the husbandmen
laugh. Apple trees are not blossoming
rs full as it was hoped aud expected
they weuld. Last year was thu "bear-
ing year." and though tho blossoms
dropped off largely without perfecting
fruit, 90 that it was not an abundant
apple year, the trees decline to make up
the deficiency entirely this sea
son. There will be . fair crop of
apples. judging from the reports of the
blossoming, but nothing moro. With
this exception, the accounts of the fruit
prospects from all parts of the country
are the best for many years. Pear and
cherry trees are setting heavy burden
OF fruit. Grapes look promising, and
this delicious fruit viii be plentiful,
though not abundant in New England
this season after an interegrum of many
years, and in New York State and at the
West there will likewise be q good many
peaches raised. The smallest fruits and
berries also promise to be abundant and
good.
The high price Of -four has given an
impetus again to wheat raising in New
England, and much more land has been
sown. The yield of hay will be large.
The prospect of large crop of fruit of
oil XII nds is favorable.
