The Harvest and the Crops.
Through lanes with hedgerows pesrly,

To reap the yellow corn.
As far rs the harvest Of wheat
has progressed, the yield is gen
orally found to be better than an
ticipated, and the quality unusual-
w good. The crop of winter
wheat is set down by persons Of
experience, who have reliable
sources of information, at two
thirds to three quarters Of an av
erage crop. This, with the old
stock left in the country, will fur
nish an ample supply at reasonable
prices We give few extracts
frcm our late exchanges, in vari
Gus parts of the country, regard
ing all kinds of crops:
VIRGINIA The Richmond Wing,
of June %, says
Our advices, with few exceptions,
report the wheat and oat crop as
unusually fne in all parts of the
State. The apprehensions of dam
age from excessive rains would
seem in the main unfoundeG, and
the fine weather of the present
week has been all that could be
desired for the completion Of the
harvest. The thrashing. however,
can alone determine the yield.
The wet weather has delayed the
corn crop, and made it more back
ward than usual, but, we trust,
there is plenty of time yet for /,
and tobacco.
INDIANA.-The Terre Haute Ex'
press, of June, q, says:
The wheat harvest is in full tide,
and is found much better than
the croakers tried to make us be-
lieye. In quantity there is about
two. thirds the crop Of last season
but the grain is of the very best
quality. The corn never looked
better than that now growing Or
Fort Harrison prairie.
The Shelbyville Volunteer says
Our farmers are now we'll into
the harvest. TIE wheat, as a gen
eral thing, is superior, and if i
can be secured in good condition :
Ialr crop Is certain
The Evansville journal says
The har, esting has activel,
commenced, and shocks of grajr
now greet the eye all through th'
neighboring country. A full av-
erage crop, if no. more, is prom
ised.
The Nashville Republican says
Farmers in Rush county com
menced cutting their wheat thi!
week. Although the stalks dc
not stand heavy on the ground
the heads are large and we'll filled
There will probably he an average
yield.
The Newcastle Courier says;
Wheat is filling remarkably vel
if we may credit the reports OF thu
farmers. 1t can not be very
heavy, but it will yield a good dea
more grain than seemed possible
two weeks ago. More acres ii
Henry county are planted in corr
than ever before, probably.
The Kokomo journal says:
The prospects for good CROP
never WAS better than in this coun
ty at this time.
The Vlncenpes Gazette SAYS:
Harvesting has commenced il
this county in earnest to-day
Tue waving wheat fields promise
golden harvest for the worthy hus
bandman. The quality OF the grail
is excellent, and the yield will b.
fully up to the average.
The Bedford News says:
Wheat harvest commenced il
this county yesterday We are in
formed that the crop will be an av
erage one. This will be some
what encouraging to those wh'
said, a few weeks ago, that Their
would not be more than half
crop.
The Cambridge Tribune says
One of our oldest residents say,
that for thirty years past the corr
crop in this vicinity has not beer
SO forward at this date in June q:
it is this season. A big corn croE
is just what this part Of the Stat
needs this year.
The Kokomo Tribune says
"Corn never looked better thar
now, at the close Of June"
