IowA-Tbe crops promise finely, wheat
especially. We are assured. says the Bar
lngton Harkeye, that the fall and spring
wheat is coming on fplendidly. and with
continued good weather the crops will b.
excellent 10 quality and up to the sverag'
in quantity. Al Newburgh, Iowa, on Tues
day Of last week, heavy hail-storm passed
over the northern part Of this county, which
caused great damage TO growing crops
The hail in some places was four inches
deep, and came with such force as to drive
the growing wheat eatirely from the ground
making a total ruin Of the crop, and the
trees were entirely stripped Of their leaves
The storm covered space Of about a mile
wide in lbs passage, and increased in force
as it neared the centre Of the track.
ILmNoB.-The great amount Of wet
weather in some localities has had the effect
Of making the growth all in the straw, and
e Is feared it not only will not head out
well. but that ii win fail down before ripen-
ing.

LoUIsIANA.-Tho cotton crop promises
en- extraordinary yield. The oat crop is a
failure. Corn has vigorous appearance.
The Baton Rouge Advocate, Of the Sd says.
The felds Of corn require rain, and if we
are blessed with showers corn enough
will be made TO at least suffice for home
consumption. Cane is looking well, and
there is more Of It planted than is generally
supposed. One cotton planter on Manchac
has q acres Of cane growing finely. The
worms have xebbed up, and we will hear
no more Of them until the second crop is
Matched out. Without a long dry term
(which would ruin the eorn) we cannot ex-
pect 10 escape the cotton worm this season.
The Natchtoches Spectator, Of the End,
ssys. The prospects for good corn and
cotton crops in this parish are very hatter-
ing indeed There are, we understand up
on trustworthy estimate about 30 GOO acres
Of land planted in corn, which will, il real
ised. be more than sufficient for home con-
sumption, and about $4,000 acres planted
in cotton, which will produce, if we escape
all calamities, 10000 bales at the lowest cal
culaton Fruits and vegetables are also
reported in prospective abundance.
