Accounts to the 10th inst represent the cotton

The season thus far has Deen very dry, which, while
favorable to cotton, has not materially affected the

early for IL to suffer much from that cause, and with
fair weather the crop will be a fair one In some
fields there has been much lodging from the heavy

The statement OF papers In the upper Valley that
not more than third OF crop will be made must
surely be erroneous The stand OF tobacco east Of

the Danvllle Times says:-We have nave had a

Ohio.

Reports to June Q state that the drought through
out the greater portion OF Ohio awakens great sollc
tude the part Of farmers. There is large belt OF
the State where no rain Of any account has fallen
for SIX weeks. Such periods OF dry weather are not
uncommon later In the season. 1t is yet too early to
make an estimate OF the damage. Copious rain and
favorable weather would DO much even yet to revive

oats Will be light at best.

In the western and central counties the most

In regard to the hop crop-a rather important one,

The indications up to the 9th inst. according to
the Detroit Trt6uneI, were that there will be short

since that dale has been so favorable that final
port before harvest may give different account.
Many fields of wheat in the northern part of Wayne
county and the southern part Of MacOmb county,
show signs Of rust.
The Hastings BARRY co., Banner says there Will be
fair supply Of apples and cherries, while the peach
crop promises to be almost as abundant as last sea-
son.
The Grand Rapids Eagle says that fruit prospects

The Hudson Gazette says that in that section OF

nattering to the producers.
In the vicinity Of Niles reports are that the drought

Will be good Oats and hay, and all fruits and ber-

has plenty OF time yet. The ravages Of the potato

The Shelbina Shelby county, Democrat, 9th inst,
says:-The dry weather, which was becoming a
showers have watered the thirty earth. Oats, wheat
and grass will be greatly benefited, but cannot
make full crops. Some tobacco has been planted
but the crop must be small, and there not suit
fcient plants; they were killed by the frost. The
promise OF corn s splendid.
From the Edna (Knox county Sentinel Of the 9th
we learn that that county has enjoyed several fine
showers. Farmers speak more cheerfully Of the
prospect OF wheat.
The spring was unfavorable to the growth of
wheat, and consequently 1t Is thin and short, espe
ciay so on the praries Many fields OF itn the tim
bered regions look well and will give an average
yield. Oats on tie p.alries are heading out at the
height OF eight, ten or twelve inches, and must be
nearly failure. Grass is generally short, and the
yield will be quite small, except In some timbered
localities where the crop seems to be about an aver
age. This season, how ever, has been favorable for
corn, and this crop looks well everywhere-never
better at this time Of the year.
