THE CROPS.
The Agricultural Bureau's Report 1ol
1869,

ust issued preliminary report Of the
condition Of the crops, summary OF
which is telegraphed from Washington.
It says the great agricultural lesson OF
the season inculcates the necessity OF
draining aud thorough culture. 1t Is
not an ex.ggeration to estimate the re-
duction this season, from alternate
aud scorchiag Of farm crops,
at $200,000,000. The general appre-
hension of various failures in the corn
crop of the more Northern States has
been materially modified by the sunny
weather in September, and the exemp-
ton from killing frosts to October l.
The early ftosts in some portions Of the
Eastern and Middle States checked
tho riponing aud left tho frosted fields
in an immature and damaged condition
but the injury is comparatively Sigh;
in extent, and limited in area, as the
whole crop has had an unusually favor
able maturing season, resulting in
very gratifying ameliorat;on Of the
prospects for supply Of this important
staple. Yet a full crop can by no
means be expected. When the harvest
is over, and the local estimates are COM
plotted, the aggregate will attest mod
crate yield, amply sufficient for all the
wants Of the country.
Had the spring whea. been equal to
tho winter, the whole crop would be
enormous. Throughout the South, the
yield is unusually large, and the quality
excellent. Texas and mississippi are
somewhat less conspicuous sharers in
this improvement than the other Statsa
in that section. In Illinois, the coun.
tics reporting an increase equivalent to
10 pc, cent. or more are almost without
exception in the southern part of the
State, below the 40th parallel. The
winter wheat regions, those. claiming
eishtrtenths Of a crop, or less, are, with
one or two exceptions, spring wheat
counties. Indiana grows a large pro-
portion Of winter wheat, and conse.
quently this year produced a much bet
te: average yield than Illinois. Many
Of the counties return high figures.
The area Of cotton cultivation was
increased last spring fully Is per cent.
Moro than 100000 acres were added
to the cultivated area. Fertilizers were
literally used in the Atlantic States,
and improved implements were, to some
extent, employed. ...
Rarely has there been a better sea-
son for oats than the present, very few
Of the States returning a less increase
than 10 per cent, and some giving 80
or IS per cent. .>, .
The season has been too dry for eitb-
er kind Of potatoes in the South, and
on the Atlantic coast to New York.
New England generally has good
crop, and it is unusually good in the
West, with the exception Of Minnesota.
TIE product Of sweet potatoes is mani
testify Increased. .n..;..:.>.
:. A slight increase in the aggregate
number Of fattening cattle, as veil as in
their average condition, is reported.
Some Of the States fail to, maintain q
full average, among which are New
, York, !. New CIV Jersey Kentucky, and
Illinois.

of them-somc already denuded Of leaves and the
late growth Of fruit and others only day or two

destruction Of the later growth in this whole section
