past. and will average forty five bush

! immense.
In Perry County Che indications are
! that there will be a fair corn crop,
though it will be late.
In Clay County the wheat harvest
is over, with an average yield OF hf-
/ teen bushels to the acre. Other
grains look well. The corn has not
been injured except upon low lands.
Reports from Cumberland County
say that the harvest OF small grains
will be large, oats unusually so. Corn
prospects are very unfavorable. The
present look is that there viii. not. be
one tenth Of acrop.
In Efhngham County, wheat, oats,
rye and hay are all frst-rate crops.
The damage by rain is confined to
corn, Of which there will probably be
half the usual yield.
The prospect 10 Coles County for
all kinds of small grain was never
better. Corn is weedy, but will be a
full crop with no drawbacks OF early
frosts. - -
The reports from Iroquois County
are very diseouraging. Some farmers
say In answer to questions; No

Douglas County reports all crops
as looking favorable, and if no un-
toward event occurs, they will be In
excess of any former year.
Will County has suffered very much
from the wet weather. The present
indications are that corn will not be

yet been worked once. The show for
oats is good. Wheat is rusting badly.
In Kankakee County small grains
will be about half crop. Corn is a
failure
The Champaign Gazette of yester-
day says: The crops in this vicinity
promise well at present. The excess
Of moisture complained OF BY our
exchanges has not reached here yet,
although there have been a few lively
showers, enough to wet the hay and
grain that was cut, but doing no
harm. Corn is growing finely, and
but for the poor stand, would be as
good, if not better, than at this time
last year. We are not Informed as to
the yield of grain, but presume it
will be better than the average. We
shall expect to see new wheat in this
market during the next week if no
rains oeeurto prevent threshing. Some
stacking has already been done. Law
ton black berries are getting ripe, be-
ing ten days in advance of last year.
Corn comes into market, owing to the
late rise in price. To day it is on an
average worth sixty cents per bushel,
but ranges from ftty.fVe to sixty FIVE
cents.-Peoria Transcript, july q.
