Ch;ckasaw county, and Northern Iowa
generally, are rejoicing in bountuul crops.
The season opened very unfavorably in
many respects, on account of heavy rains
and continued cold weather. This was
the case untif June. The clouds were then
dissipated, the skies became propitious,
md the result is, the farmers and all other
classcs wear smiling countenance. The
charming weather, interspersed with occa-
SIGNAL showers, has rendered all kinds of
productions luxuriant. More than the usu.
al quantity of hay has already been secur-
ed, the wheat and oats are large growth,
and these with the hay have been gathered
without rain to injure. If the wheat sho'd
not yield the usual amount in proportion
to the straw, the straw is very large in
quantity. and the wheat as far ms known.
weighs WILL At Calmar, the usual weight
is IS to 60 lbs. to the bushel. There was
alse. far more than the usual quantity Of
this and other grains sowed. sd ae
Oats could not well be better.
Corn is heavy growth, and much of it
is 50 hard as not to be in danger of FROST.
Aliittle more dry, warm weather will Sc
cure the crop generally.
Potatoes, though 10 was difficult to Sc
cure seed enough to plant. are now album
dant, and Of excellent quality. Buckwheat
was sown more extensively than ever be-
fore, and thus far is all that can be desired
as to growth, but needs more good wealth
