As general thing the wheat in Upper
Georgia looks finely. In some localities the
fiy has injured it, and in Others some rust
! upon the blades is now reported, but, taken
as a whole, there is prospect OF a toleraDIy
good crop. Corn is not doing so well. In
many localities there is a bad stand, and the
cotton planted is likely to be an entlrr fail
ure: Some planters are piowlng up their
! The wheat crop of Eastern Georgia is re-
| ported to be better than it has been for sew
eral wears, and many fields will be ready for
harvest by the last of this and the first OF
next week This will be great blessing to
the planters generally, as it will bring into
the country a considerable amount of money,
at the present high prices, and Will enable
] them to secure a sutficlency OF corn to make
the growing crop of cotton.
| A planter of Sumter county has laid on
the table of the American Republican cot
ton stalk % in in length, which he says is
sample of 400-acre field. Both cotton
and corn are represented to be in excellent
| condition.
A correspondent of the Macon Telegraph,
writing from johnson county, May 81, says
the crops are in good condition. Freedmen,
in the main, are working well. All are
planting sufficient corn to answer plantation
purposes.
| saws that the wheat harvest in that section IS
rapidly approaching, and that there was an
| immense area of of land sown down, and
that the crop, from all accounts, bids tar to
be full one. Preparations are now beng
made for saving it.
Mr. Miller proposes to cut his wheat next
Monday. 1t is the Early May" the heads,
though not large are quite heavy and free
from any sign of rust or smut. The estimate
yield is % bushels to the acre, and he has
engaged the crop of 60 acres at So 30
bushel His corn is very promising, and is
90 in. high.
A1a5ama.-The Montgomery Sentinel of
May so says:
';The prospects for most abundant crop
are very cheering. Within the past month
or so we have had an occasion to travel in
many of the couties in Alabama, and it Ger
tainly was most cheering to see the vigorous
young cotton, and in no instance did we see
or hear Of 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
most promising, especially the wheat
We venture the assertion that there are more
acres of wheat in Alabama this year than
ever were in any previous year."
The Mobile Tribune says:
"There is consolation in the soil. We
have looked at papers from all parts of the
South, and discover that everywhere, with
only few exceptions, the crops are full of
promise, more especially of wheat and corn.
There is no very important complaint of the
condition of cotton, and that is something Of
value, for within twenty years we have
not heard Of the prospect of good cotton
crop.
The Griffin Star says, concerning the
wheat:
From all we can learn from the farmers
of this and adjoining counties, the wheat
harvest will be more abundant than for ten
years past. All danger of rust is now past,
and our farmers again draw long brcaths.
We hear of several farmers in Spalding and
Pike who have already cut their wheat.
Arkansas.-The late Spring and present
cool weather has retarded cotton and corn
somewhat but no serious injury is as yet APP
pretended. 1t is said that there is far
greater area of land planted in cotton in
this county than ever before the war Yet,
in view of the scarcity and big price of corn
this Spring, the farmers did not neglect to
put in an unusually large space of land in
this latter and most indispensable article
The fruit crop of every description stands
extremely WELL
Tuginia-The Richmond Inquirer reports
the appearance of rust i'll the wheat fields of
that section.
North Carolina wheat crop is UMPIRE
cedentedly fine, and if no accident happens
to it the yield will be better for years. The
accounts from three leading tobacco coun-
ties in N. c. are not encouraging. The to-
bacco plants are scarce, owing to the untav-
orable weather anu the injury inflicted by
the fly, and some of the lands have been
planted in other crops
Louisiana.-A Texas paper says the plan
tiers back from the river are now all busy
scraping cotton, and most of the have excel
lent stands. On several places there is corn
up and looking healthy
Mississippi.-The Canton Mail says that
owing to the lateness of the season, the
crops are very backward. Still, most farm
ers say that they have excellent stands of
cotton and corn. and if favored with the
right sort of weather, hope yet to make fine
crops. There has been a much larger
amount of corn than usual.
South Carolino.-From all parts of the
Barnwell District the accounts are cheering.
gentleman near Silverton planted the
common gourd seed on the 10th of March,
and April one stalk was tasseled and
silked.
Maayland.--The peach trees are loaded
down with young fruit in an advanced state.
Wheat, where it is not Winter killed, is
looking finely for the season, and the pros
pect is good for heavy crop. Corn is small
and looking badly. The cold rains of the
early Spring have very greatly retarded the
farmer in getting in Spring crops of all kinds.
PENNSYLVANIA.
A gentleman having just returned from
Harrisburg and a journey through the
Lebanon Valley, reports crops of all kinds
exceedingly promising. If the wheat is to
fail, it will be from causes now unforeseen.
Fruit trees are loaded
CANADA EAST
This Spring has been remarkable for back
wardness owing to an unprecedented con-
tinuance of wet, cold weather during the
month of May. Everything is, CONSEQUENT
ly, nearly fortnight later than in favorable
seasons, and about week later than in cold
seasons. The fiat lands of Lower Canada
comprising nearly the whole of the seignio
ries, have suffered so much from the rains
that large portion has not yet been in a
condition to work at all. Farmers who had
naturally dry or artifcially drained fields,
