Similar accounts are received from
Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas. In
Canada it is almost too early to pre-
dict the result with certainty, and the
lateness of the season is looked upon
AS unfavorable for all sorts OF crops
except grass. The same holds true to a
great extent in New England, though a
larger breadth of " heat has been sown
than usual. and corn is not so far be-
hind but warm September will bring
out fair crop. Grass is unusually
heavy, and Is now beyond the contin-
gency OF a drought. The apple crop
will probably be fair, but not extraor-
binary. ..L ,s.Ts #
