Wheat harSesiing is still going on in

ENGAGED in cutting wheat, some Of them

Early wheat, however, is best the late being
slightly injured by rust. Vegetables Of ali

never better. Ia fact everything indicates

During the last and present weeks far
mers 10 the adjacent country have been
busted in reaping their wheat. The har.
vest does not promise 10 be an abundant
one, owing to the severe freezes lasS winter
except in few instances in which the seed
we're put ia with great care, or the lands
sown we're high and dry. The complaint
ia unanimous that the crop will be short
in many cases by hall, and in others by

however, that the crop will be sufficiently
large to bread the county, and there ART
those who think that the quantity raised
will exceed that amOunt.-Pdris IHleiligen

During the present week a most favora
/ bic season for the work. our farmers hav,
been actively engaged in harvesting theii
wheat. We have made diligent inquiry
I concerning the yield per acre and find th'
reports vary 80 much, even among farmer
of the same neighborhood, that anything
like correct estimate cannot be made
OF one thing, however, there can be ne
doubt-the yield in the county will becon
siderably more than will be required fol
home consumption. AS soon as the new
crop is thrown on the market, it is believed
, the price of Aoar will fall one-third below
, present figures. Corn and cotton both lool
well. The potatoe crop is very promising
Big crops Of cotton and corn have beer

abundance Of grain was not overlooked BY

order to realize ready money in the fall
almost every planter has planted largely
the aeecy staple.-JaekSon Whig, June 20
