CROP REPORTS.
SOUTH CAROLINA.

A large crop Ol WHcib 10 duli'iPatou
in South Carolina. The wet weather
DELAYED the harvest, but large supply
is promised. The bad crops of the past
two years caused great distress, but
corn and wheat are doing well this year
The wheat crop in particular Will he
UNPARALLELED, and the breadth sown Is
unusually large. 1t will be better than
any known for twenty years. The stand
Of cotton is also very good, and the
fields are generally clean. The months
OF July and August, however, are the
most important for this staple.
FLORIDA.
A correspondent of the Savannah
(Ga.) Herald who has been over portions
of this State reports that the wet and
frosty weather of May was unfavorable
for cotton. But he says "thc weather is
now all that heart could wish in a
cloudless sky and smiling sun. The
gardens on high lands need rain, but
planters would prefer not to have it.:
We have had mutton corn in some OF
our gardens here. In some sections
there has been entirely too much rain
for the cotton, whilst in Others crops
are almost ruined for the need of it.
ALABAMA.
The Montgomery Mail says that the
recent rains there have proved beneficial
| to the crops, aud that from all accounts
the prospects for large yield of both
corn and cotton are tiattering.
MISSISSIPPI.
There is much complaint among farm
ers in this State that the early planted
cotton is dying or dead, but what was
planted late is doing well. The wheat
prospects were never better i'll most sec
tiOns.
LOUISIANA, TEXAS AND CALIFORNIA.
The New Orleans Republican has ad-
vices from Alexandria, on the Red River,
from eastern Texas on the same river,
from central and eastern Mississippi,
and all report an average yield of cot
ton and corn. Many planters anticipa-
ted bale of cotton to the acre. More
cotton than corn has been planted.
The Houston (Texas) Journal has in
formation from the best wheat regions
of the State, which represents the wheat
crops as very fine and the prospects bet
tor Than ever before. This is very cheer
ing, as corn is quoted i'll Galveston and
Houston ut Sl.55 per bSshel.
In California there is every prospect
that the surplus of wheat will be larger
even than it was last year. The crops
are every where i'll the most beautiful
condition.
| ARKANSAS.
A correspondent of the Memphis Ira
lanche, writing from portions of this
State, says: The river planters, now
that tlieir lands are appearing above
the overflow, are preparing to renew
their spring labors. Ii the "June rise
should not inundate the country, we
may expect abundant crops of eott>'''
and corn next autumn"
KANSAS.
The Lawrence Journal says: "A great
many farmers, from fear OF depredations
by grasshoppers, have neglected to SOW
as much surface to wheat as they other
wise would have done. There is every
prospect that sod corn will do we'll
this season."
MISCELLANEOUS.
Reports from Nevada, Utah and the
Great Western States and Territories
are favorable. The season was very
backward and snow lay on the ground
very late. The humboldt MAJ Regis
ter complains sadly of the drought in
that region, aud says: Farmers are
loudly calling on the heavens to weep a
few refreshing tears TO soothe and
moisten the parched earth where their
hopes are planted; but alas! the pray
ers of the wicked availeth not; the heav-
ems are not in 4 watery mood, and its
vapors refuse to condense. In Nebraska
they have one of the finest shows for a
good crop of grain ever known. One of
the Senatorial excursionists on @he Pa
cifc Railroad, writing from Omaha,
says: The country through which we
have passed is looking finely. Wheat
is looking very finely all along the route
from Chicago to Omaha. Corn does not
look so weli-in fact, it does not look at
all. 1t has not yet made its appearance
above the ground. Michigan farmers
feel very Respondent over the late con-
tinued showers of rain. The prospects
for q large fruit crop still look very IA
vorablo / large area is being plan ted
in Oregon. The prospects in Canada
are extraordinarily good.
