about pig pens, henhouse, or barn,
where they will get strong nourish-
ment and the grass cannot grow
about them. When they are in
bloom, take q hoo aud scrare the
earth from over the roots of the
trees about an inch deep, as far
from the trunk of the tree as the
limbs extend. When wash day
oomes, save all the suds and heat

or old brine, and then scald the
ground under the tree thoroughly.
Don't bc afraid Of killing your
trees. It promotes their growth
aiHazingly. If the diameter Of the
circle which has been scraped
around the tree is ten feet, eight or

will not injure tho tree. After this

der each tree where you can throw
sour milk or dishwater with tho
crumbs from tho kitchen, TO keep
tho hens about the trees all you can.
They will destroy every insect
that comes within their reach. 1t
is an established fact. that the lar

when 1T falls, is the offspring Of an
egg deposited in the fruit by the
curculio or beetle. This soon

feeds on the fruit and causes it to

hens will help take care of what is
left. II there is now and thon q

Good Crops and Lower Prices.

From the World ....e q.
We are now receiving from nearly every
section of the country the most gratifying
reports of this years crops. The grass crop
is from One-third to one-half greater than has
ever before been cut in the United States.
Wheat will show full 33 per cent. more than
the harvest of any previous year. The corn
crop, at least in this section of the country,
and notwithstanding the backward weather, is
full of promise. Farmers in New Jersey say
that corn is as high as it was at the CORES
ponding period last summer; and although,
out West, it is claimed that this crop is "two
weeks behind" yet the very short time re-
quired for its maturity and the present pros
pect of favorable season are guarantees that
we shall have the usual quantity of this
almost always sure crop. The prospect for
oats is good, and certainly nothing could be
finer than the present weather is for wheat.
To show the exuberant promise of the pre-
sent season, we present comparative table,
the yield of 1850, and the estimated crops of
1877
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1867-07-24

A fair estimate of the crops of this year will
be an addition of full 40 per cent. to most of
the crops of 1860, while the hay crop is be-
ieved to be nearly doubled. The best esti-
mate OF cotton, however, will show only
$500, 600 bales against a. 675, 900 bales in 1860
the largest cotton crop ever produced in the
country. The culture of cane sugar has fallen
to about one-fourth of the crop of 1860,
though we have no means of estimating the
amount of sugar which will be made from
sorghum. Rice, too, has been much neglected,
and the tobacco crop has fallen off to some
extent in Virginia and Kentucky while the
seed leaf of Connecticut and of the Connecticut
Valley will be small this year, on account of
the low prices, and because the farmers gene
rally have now in hand the crops of the past
two years.
But the cereals have covered larger area
this year than ever before. The scarcity Of
corn in large sections of the South last year,
and the consequent suffering from the short
ness of this crop, has induced very general
wheat and corn culture, to the neglect of the
generally raised staples; and it is stated that
in some of the Southern States this year. for
the first time in the history of the country,
the home product of the cereals will be
sufficient for home consumption. Every
where abroad, too, there is promise OF the
same unusually good harvests with which THIS
be no unusual demand in Europe for our sur
plus cereals.
All these things indicate the commencement
OF an era of cheap food at last. Recently,
in this city, Southern wheat fell from So to
S2SO-a decline of twenty cents in the bushel,
and this is only the beginning. Cheap corn,
cheap hay, and cheap crops generally, must
inevitably be followed by cheap beef, butter,
and cheese, and these in turn by cheap cloth
ing, hats, boots, and every other article for
wear and use. Dealers Of all kinds may as
well make up their minds to this, that with
the abundant crops prices must come down.
Those who, in commercial phrase, are ''stuok"
with extensive stocks must submit to exten-
siye losses. We are proceeding now from the
days OF exorbitant prices for everything to an
era when dealers must be content with far
smaller profits then those which have obtained
during the past five years. During this tran
sition period there will be more or less suffer
ing, particularly among the holders of large
stocks, losses on large stocks bought at high
prices, and then heavy sales and small profits

Republican Movements SOuth-Only One
Course for the Southern People.

From The Herald.
We published on Monday circular from
the Republican Executive Committee of Con-
gress which shows a remarkable degree of
zeal, activity, and success on the part of said
committee in behalf of the Republican party in
all the ten States of the five Southern military
districts. The committee has the names of
twenty thousand loyal persons in the South to
whom documents are regularly sent, and the
list is being daily augmented The committees
correspondence is very extensive, hundreds of
letters being received weekly from all parts of
the South. 1t has Republican organization
and agents at work in every Southern State;
Union League councils in all are being rapidly
formed, and a largely increased number of
intelligent men, white and colored, could be
put ia the field at once, If the committee only
had the funds. Hence this circular, in pursu-
ance of resolution of late Republican Con-
gressional caucus, pledging the members on
their return home to use their best personal
efforts to the work of raising money for the
use of this committee.
b, We have heretofore detailed the numerous
powerful agencies and instrumentaltles
through which, within few months, the Re
publicans have organized party movement
in each of the ten unreconstructed states,
which, from all the facts disclosed, and all the
signs of the times, promises TO carry every
thing before it. We have in this Congressional
committee only the central directory through
which all these agencies and their operations
are carried on. But how has this vantage
ground been so rapidly and extensively gainedf
~ mas been gained by the Republicans through
the Jolly OF the great body of the Southern
whites OF old Democratic proclivities in listen
ing to and adopting the foolish State right
eounseis OF Northern Copperhead politicians.
These pernicious politicians had much to do
in leading the South into the path of Rebellion,
and during the war, and since the war, their
| good oihces as peace makers have brought only
| disappointment and disasters upon themselves
and their followers.
The Constitutional amendment which was
| first offered by Congress as a basis of Southern
restoration would have answered for all the
