Agricultural Report.

TIE Department of Agriculture has
lately issued preliminary report OF the
condition of the crops. 1t says the great
agricultural lesson Of the season inculcates
the necessity of draining and thorough
culture. 1t is not an eXaggeration to esi-
mate the reduction this season from alter
nate drowning and scorching of farm
crops at $200,000,000. The general APP
prehension of various failures in the corn
crop of the more Northern States has
been materially modified by the sunny
weather in September, and exemption
from killing frosts to October LIST. Early
frosts in some portions of the Eastern and
Middle States checked the ripening and
left the frosted fields in an immature and
damaged condition, but the injury is COM
paratively slight in extent and limited IN
area, as the whole crop has had an unusu-
ally favorable maturing season, resulting
in the very gratifying amelioration OF
prospects for the 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 completed, the
aggregate will attest moderate yield,
amply sufficient for all the wants OF the
country Had the spring wheat been
equal to the winter, the whole crop
would be enormous throughout the South.
The yield is unusually large and the quail
ity excellent. Texas and Mississippi are
somewhat less conspicuous sharers In this
improvement than the other States IN that
section. In Illinois the counties reporting
an increase equivalent to 10 per cent. or
n In
the southern part of the State, below the
40th parallel, the winter wheat region,
those claiming eight-tenths OF crop or
less, are, with one or two exceptions,
spring wheat counties Indiana grows
large proportion of winter wheat, and
consequently this year produced a much
better average yield than Illinois. Many
of the counties return high figures.
The area of cotton cultivation was in
creased last spring IL per cent. Nor
that million acres were added to the GU
tiyated area. Fertilizers were literally
used in the Atlantic States, and improved
implements wereto some extent employed
Rarely has there been better season.
for oats than the present, very few OF the
States returning an average OF less than
10 per cent, and some giving 80 or 80 per
cent.
The season has been too dry for either
kind of potatoes in the South, and on the
Atlantic coast to New York. New Eng,
land generally has good crop, and it is
unusually good in the West, with the eX'
ception of Minnesota The production OF
sweet potatoes is manitestly increased.

papers are now advertising what is
claimed to DO q better method, viz :
Take largo card with small round
hole in the centre, and hold it against
the suns rays, SO that the shadow will
fall on the floor, pavement, wall, OF
other dark and smooth surface. In the
middle of the shadow there will be a
true image of the sun, and the eclipse
can be studied in its progress without
straiuing the eyes, and without smut.
