Feox the Departmeut Of Arri,

From the Department Of Agriculture
we learn that the crops OF this year, ia.
ken in the aggregate, will prove more re-
munerative than that Of 1867. The
wheat crop, of which many contradicto-
ry statements have been made to the De-
partment, will on the whole prove as
large, if not larger, than that Of last
year, the increased area sown fully ma
king up for the short crops so generally
reported from the Northwest. The hay
crop is excellent, while that Of oats is
only middling. The area Of corn plant
cd is large, and the return per acre will
be entirely satisfactory.
