The CRoPs.-The cry ''short crop
was of no avail to mislead the public
during the interval beween seedtime
and harvest, since the waving abund-
ance was everywhere visible to the eye.
Before the crops were gathered we call
ed attention to the fact that amid such
luxuriant growth there was always a
promise never fully realized i'll the
measurement of actual results, and we
therefore cautioned our readers against
an over estimate of the yield of grain.
A verv thrifty, growing season is sure
to give more straw than wheat, more
stalk than corn, and the bulk gathered
by the reaper is relatively greater than
the return of grain into the garner
when the fruit is separated. The far
mers in the interior are just now meet
ing this falling of from their estimates,
and their natural grumbling has created
quite panic among those who do moi
allow for the universal proneness to ex'
apGerate a misfortune. We are now
told in various quarters that the crop is
after all, short one, and that the album
dance promised was an idle dream which
the reality of the threshipg- floor has
wholly dissipated. This is going to the
other extreme, and will work mischief
if it is generally credited. The pro.
ducers need no fresh incentive to hold
back their surplus, and ifit comes to be
understood that only Il small crop is tc
be realized, there will be an early scare
ity among consumers, to be followed by
Il late plenty, to the disadvantage alike
of both buyer and seller.
The truth is that the product OF ae'
tual grain is not equal anywhere to the
promise of the growing straw. This
we confidently predicted before any one
had thrust in the sickle. But 1T is moi
true, as many assert, that the yield il
less per acre than the average OF for
Iuer seasons. 1t is less compared witt
the bulk of stalk, or, tn use an old teen
meal phrase, fewer bushels to the shock
than in seasons where the straw has
presented "a less luxuriaut growth
But there is far more straw, so That
less relative yield still leaves very
large crop as the result. Cautious deal
ers will draw the line of verify betw eel
the rash extremes. There is a large
crop, but not equal to the enormous
estimates which many have Published
