from ala sides.


TnE rs-Wcll. yes, a very novel and
fruitful subject What OF them The
round. ru5icunj, but recently elongated
faces of our working farmers. proclaim that
they ave all right. The rapidly advancing
harvest, in fields of oats, barley and wheat
on many broad and promising farms, attest
that we shall have wear of plenty. Vast
fields of corn and potatoes, despite the late
spring and long continued rains, and the
ravages of lrrepress,ble bugs. are beginning
10 make c,ai the hearts of the most des>
ppndeut.
From the p' Dodge Northwest
We learn from John liairc. who has iusl
RETURNED from ,Tip through Pocshontas
pa'e Alto aui Emmett Counties that the
wheat. oats ard corr are looking well. and
ttere : cverv indc ton OF o large yield
Fspm s.tixemS of knssuth and HUMBOLDT
counties 81 have Smilar reports. There
seems Ic bv ht;lc doubt NOW but that tho
p5, SIN, season Ni. lie one Of the most pro-
Juclye that Nc have witnessed for many
wears, iaAing the entire country together.
From the Nashua Post
We do no, believe that the crops in this
section OF Iowa ever looked better, or gave
hri sh,er promise 81 a large yield han they
i. to>day. The corn has been back ward,
hnt II now stands vel. aud with reasonably
warm weather the yield will bc large. The
wheat and oats. the farmers tell us, look
spleud,dy. A much larger breadth oil
small grain has been sown IN Chickasaw
county than ever before, and the yield prom
isc< TO be much larger per acre.
fsom the Iowa City Republican. July III
The past two weeks have been quite fa>
voraple for the crops, rather too cool To
bring corn along rapidly, but very good for
wheat. Rust has struck tho blades OF the
wheat quite generally, but has not reached
the straw to nu h extent, and 10 supposed
To- have done little injury The gram is
nox 40 well matured that very good crop
seems certain, with good weather for har>
vest. Some will cut this week, but the
reapers will not all be in motion until mex
week. OTIS will follow right along, aud
will be heavy. Grass is now being rapidly
cut. Corn 10 doing pretty well, but We
must have . large amount Of hot weather
vet to bring il our. Much of il is choAed
with weeds and can never make q crop.
From the taye,te County Union
Friends from the country coming to town
oil tell 10 their crops are looking well. Some
damage has been done 10 crops On clay
ground bv tho late hot, sunny days which
baked the ground and retarded the growth
OF The grain. The crop If wheat and os,.
will not be overly large, but there will be q
good crop Throughout, the country as Ear a.
We can learn. The corn crop is considera-
bly, backward yet. but We shall have NOR,
than an average yield If the frost holds OF
well this fail.
from the Manchester Union.
From all pats Of Delaware county ",
have ilttt,fing reports as TO the prospect foi
large yields os wheat and oats On many
old farms the yield CT wheat even from old
ground, will be twenty bushels per acre.
MANY have been fearful Of rust, but toe
present good weather will not only proven,
il but develop a very plump and heavy
kernel. But little grain will be cut before
the iirst OF August, aud grain buyers vii
undoubtedly be entirely idle till the midi,
ofSsplember.
From the Anamcsa Eureka.

for corn 70 very fair. and II the fross hold
on long enough oil will be right. The po-
