The Harvest---The Crops.

The farmers of Ohio are now in
the midst of tho labors of gather
ing the most bountiful harvest with
which we have been blessed for
years. Owing to the fact that the
wheat crop has 5ccn failure, in
whole or in part, for several years,
there was but a limited quantity
planted last autumn. This is the
only drawback, except in a few
sections Of limited extent, where
tho midge or weevil has partially
destroyed the crop. AS general
thing the yield will be large and
the berry of superior quality
Wheat is no longer regarded as one
of tho staples of Ohio, but We shall
this year have enough for the whole
ofour three millions Of inhabitants,
and a respectable quantity for ex-
port. Ofrye and barley VIC shall
have an abundance, as these crops
were never.better. Oats the same.
The excellence of the pasture,
combined with other causes, has
had the effect to reduce The price of
butter below its true value---the
price paid to producers being now
from ten to fifteen cents per pound,
depending upon quality and proX-
Unity to the great markets.
The hay crop was never better,
and should the weather be favora-
bic for ten or fifteen days that val
uable crop, together with wheat,
rye, oats and barley will be saved
in good condition.
Though the spring was late, cold
and unpromising, there is now a
fine promise of an average yield of
Indian corn. 1t has made aston
ishing progress in shooting up.
ward during the warm weather OF
the past three weeks, and three
weeks moro Of favorable wealth
er will insure this valuable crop
againstall probable contingencies.
For tho first time in many years,
there will be a full crop of fruit
apples, peaches, pears, grapes, cher
ries, &c, &C., in nearly all parts oi
the State.
Altogether, the people of Ohio
have cause for rejoicing and thank
fulness. Though the farmer may
receive nominally less per pound OF
bushel for his products, his crops
in the aggregate, will be moro val
liable than they have been fol
years, and thepoor, and all classes
of people, will be supplied with
} provisions at prices within theil
reach. = Columbus Journal. ,
