heads, although the prices obtained Were
very fair, considering the unfavorable adj
vices from the Eastern and Southern
markets.

We clip the following from the Sar
Francisco Market ReUiel0 of July 9th:
The fact s at length we'll settled that The
harvest NV in progress viii result In the
0atherinf OF the largest cereal crop egel
TfTsffi ef Z. to 0etifs t51F "a I-
6utIets as may happen hereafter TO pre-
sent themselves. In a lew places the
growth OF straw has been stunted by
droughth, generally the effect or careless
ouIture or TOO late planting; and along the
belt exposed to the Influences of sea ali
some fields have suffered from rust during
the moist, warm weather that prevailed a
favv weeks since The injury, however
does not appear to have been extensive,
and 1t Is now becoming every year more
and more apparent that the grain crop In
this state IS less exposed O disease, the at
tacks OF insects, or other cause OF injury
than in any other para or the world; an
Immunity that, coupled with The fecundi-
~ of n virgin soil, has too often lead tC
careless and slOthful abtts of husbandry
Not only do our cereal crops enjoy a won
derful exemption frolN these various
agents and causes of harm, bu
the more extensively our wide vari-
etv OF soils is the more fully anC
satisfactorily have THESE soils re-
sponded to every reasonable expS citation
and requirement. Encouraged by a ready
and remuneTatiVe market, and forced IL
part by the high prices OF the rich valley
lands, many farmers, during the past seas
on, betOOk themselves TO the foothills and
mountains, breaking up and planting ex-
tensively upon these lighter and less costly
lands, trusting that they could make, al
least, a partial crop there. The result o
these experiments, except where extreme
late sowing was practtced, has been gener-
ally satisfactory, proving that the breadth
OF soil capable OF growing good Wheat Il
much greater in this State than had get er
ally been supposed. IL now appears that
with Summer following, whereby early
seeding could be insured, nearly all thu
red hills, and even the higher mountains
in this State could be mace to yield excel
lent crops ofthe cereals; the straw, though
not so rank, being apt to be well headed
and the berry less likely to suffer froEs
rust or other disease than that growing OF
the rich, 0lluvtal soils of the valleys.
