CROP REPORTS.

PENNsYLvANIA.-Says the Philadel-
phia Ledger:
The coming wheat crop will be prob.
ably among the lGgest ever harvested
inlthese parts. It's the opinion of;ex-t
perienced farmers of neighboring coun-l
ties that new whear, if the crop proves
to be as good as is now promised, WI!
be sold as low as one dollar and half
the bushel.
The York Democrat says:
The sight Of the wheat and rye fields
in this section does ones heart good
as far as the eye can reach, the fields Of
waving green stretch away until lost IN
the distance, rich with the promise OF
an abundant yield. The wheat never
looked stronger or better than 1t does
this season, and the same may be SAID
as regards the rye, and the farmers are
iubilant over the prospect OF once more
harvesting an old fashioned crop.
There will bea heavy yield of wheat
in Minnesota. In Kansas, wheat looks
we'll. In Ohio the crop gives a prom
Use unequallcd for years. In Kentucky
and Indiana large crops are anticipated.
In Missouri an extraordinary fruit crop
is anticipated. A Montgomery, Ala,
paper says: -.
"The prospects for a most abundant
crop are very cheering. Within the
past month OF SO we have had All occa-
sion to travel in many of the counties
in Alabama, and it certainly was most
cheering to see the vigorous young cot
ton, and in no instance did we see or
hear of a bad stand. The corn was
never better at this season of the year;
and above all, in all parts of the State,
the small grain was most promising, es.
pecially the wheat. We venture the
assertion that there are more acres of
wheat in Alabama this year than ever
were in any previous yea"
The Mobile Tribune says:
"There is consolation in the soil. We
have looked at papers from all parts Of
the South, and discover that every
where, with only fow exceptions, the
crops are full Of promise, more espe-
cially of wheat and corn. There is no
very important complaint of the condi-
ton of cotton, and that is something of
value, for within twenty years we have
not heard of the prospect of n good cot
ton crop.
VIRGINIA.-The Harrisonburg Union
says: We believe we may safely assert
that the prospect for an abundant yield
of the bounties of the earth was never
more promising in this part of the State
than at the present time. The growing
crop of wheat is extraordinarily fine.
The crop of rye. never very large with
us, promises we'll. The oat crop, though
Il little late, is coming out wonderfully,
and promises large yield. Gardens
are late, but promise well. As to the
fruit, there is no end to it; and if no &C
cidcnt befalls it, the yield will be great
er than ever before known in this coun-
ty. And this is true of all kinds of
fruit. from the largest to the smallest
varieties. The country will yet be pros
pereus and the people happy. .{
GEoRGIA.-The correspondent of the
New York Times, writing from Colum-
bus, Georgia, May 30, says:
Whatever croaking newspape editors,
speculative cotton buyers, or hired
agents of New England manufacturers
may say to the contrary, am satisfied,
from my tour of upward of two months
duration through the most productive
cotton region of the State, that the
crop of Georgia for 1867 will be q large
one, unless Providence shall send un-
propitious weather, or some of those
blights to which all crops are liable. A
t<,f hos Il
planted. The work has been done with
universal care and attentions; and,
though the spring has been very back
ward, the cottan, generally, in the
counties have visited, looks healthy
and vigorous and well cultivated, the
first great enemy, grass, having been
efiectually subdued. Here and there
NAV be found partial failure, where
cold has injured the stand, or the seed
has been covered too deeply and the soil
has baked over it, SO that the effort to
break through the crust has killed the
young plant. But the failures are very
few and to an inconsiderate extent.
1t is of course too early to form any
thing like q reliable estimate of the
profitable crop in bales, but were COM
PEELED to make "guess," / should
"reckon" that Georgia will produce in
this year of grace, from 400, 900 to 450,-
600 bales, and perhaps 100000. Last
careless labor, and bad weather, was
hardly 100000 bales. But this year the
seed is good, the labor is careful and
punctual, and the season, it is hoped,
will be favorable.
The corn crop looks exceeding promis.
ing, as far as / have seen, and the cry
that planters have sacrificed everything
to cotton is not altogether just. The
proportion of land planted in corn and
cotton is. on the whole, about as great
as in old times. Occasionally there is
planter to be found who has "gone in"
rather too strongly for the "1eecy
fabric" but neIally people have pro-
vided corn enough Ito bread themselves
and their people," and, with a good
year, there will be plenty. Besides,
there is an unusually large extent of
land sown in wheat and oats, and the
yield promises to be very abundant.
In two weeks from this time the wheat
harvest will have commenced. and when
it is completed the confident hope is en-
tertained that the present exorbitsnt
prices of breadstuffs will decline ma
terially. There are unmistakable signs
of ruse, but as yet it is conf .ed to the
blade. The stalk and head are perfectly
free, and it is supposed that the crop is
now out of danger.
