TAT the reques, of number Of our read.
ers, who desire extra copies to send to their
friends in the east, we re publish the follow
ing article on the crops which appeared in
our last issue.
DJ Tue COMING HARvEsr-The whea,
harves, in this region will commence in
about ten days, aud unless some sudden and
unexpected calamity intervenes to blast the
present prospect, the yield wi 1 be the larges,
ever gathered by our farmers The t.s'i-
mony Of oil is unanimous that the crop is
uniformly good, exceeding in weight and
quality any former crop raised in the north
west
From Colonel Baird and James Clark, Of
Dakota County, Nebraska, we learn tina: the
crop in that County is all that the NOS,
sanguine could desire. They estimate tina,
the crop in St. John precinct aIo'e will
amount to 1000 bushels. and that the
yield in the County will not tall short Of one
hundred thousand bushels. OF her crops are
equally promising. Corn, although delay ed
in its growth by the cold wet weather of
May and the fore part Of June, has prosper,
ed finely during the last four weeks, and is
as far advanced as usual a, this
season of the year, and promises an alum
dant yield. Oats, barley, potatoes, &c, are
looking exceedingly we'll, and taking into
consideration the fact that much larger
than usual amount Of land is under cuItva-
ton, the product will be largely in excess OF
general expec alton.
Similar reports come to us from Dako a
Territory, where the breadth Of ground
planted is largely increased. Every kind of
crop looks rs we'll IS could be desired, and
the results Of the present harvest will FIJI the
Territory with abundance and good cheer
In Plymouth County the crops ate equally
good and the number of acres cultivated
much mHre numerous than in any previous
year Especially is this the case in tie
Floyd Valley, where the number Of "a mers
has nearly doubled during the pas. year.
The farmers Of Plymouth County are a
thrifty, i"du-trions cla-s, aud are rapidly
developing one of the fines, farming sections
in the State.
We had a conversation on Wednesday
with Judge Morehead, Of Ida County, who
gave us very favorable account of the
of US Daring the last fortnight h. has
travelled throu yh Ida, Sac Cllhoun, Craw-
ssrd, Wood bury and part Of Mnnona coun-
ties, and it is bis opni,n that wherever he
has baen the average Yield of wheat
will not fall short of thirty bushels per
acre, and oats from forty to sixty Other
crops promise a corresponding yield, aud
indie atoms are that the farmers throughout
the entire western part of the State will
have 'ful' and plenty" of everything. The
Judge passed down the Little Sioux Valley
from Correc,onville to Smithland and saws
that the crops in that splendid valley are
annually promising. The quantity of land
ander ti|lags is yearly il not qui'e double
that OF previous years, and the same to
kEedt cAtNHt Is true Ol al the farming s. tie
ments through which he passed. Very large
tracts of prairie land are being broken. and
next year the increase in the breadth of
tie crops will be equal if no, greater than
that OF this season.
w. N. Collamer, of Yankton, called upon
rs yesterday. and s"ys that the crops
throug bout Dakota, are immense. In Uni.n
Clay and Yank,on counties the breadth OF
land cultivated is large. and the whea: pro-
misses an enormous yield. lie thinks tina,
many Of the fields in these counties vi |
yield - high as As bushels per acre. The
farmers are in good spirits, and more than
ever impressed with the beauty Of Dakota
and the fertility of her soil.
Taten oil 10 all, the prospect is highly
gratifying the patient toll of the farmer will
BE- rewarded BY an ample harvest, and there
By oil branches of trade and industry made
TO expand and prosper. May the universal
hope be verified that no unforeseen disaster
may occur to blast tho cheerful promise.
