Crop Reports


The Dover Delawsreon, of the 23d, says OF
peaches 1.-THE prospect for crop OF this fruit,
80 far this season, Is very good. The trees are
now In full bloom. The rains OF the past few
days doubtless dissolved all the snow and Ice this
side of Canada, aud II may be that this spell Of
weather has removed all danger from frost. We
hope SO, al least"
FAIR PROSPECTS IN CECIL.
The Elkton Democrat, of the POD, says: 1.-THE
mild weather of the past fortnight has had effect
to force vegetation 10 an unusual degree. Wheat
and grass are sprlnglDg up luxuriantly. Oats.
owing to the wet season, were late planted, and
therefore do not yet make much show. The far
mer has much reason to hope for q good wheat
crop, hswever, Judging from lie appearance
generally ut present. The peach prospect is
aarmlpgly good. Orchards generally look beau
tiful. Trees ore full OF blossoms, and give every
Indication of full crop. A trip to the peach
growing regions of the county furnishes sight
to gladden. the eyes. Growers of this fruit, how
ever, as well as consumers, would do well to
wait awhile before determining, the one whether
his harvest shall be abundant, and the other
whether he shall have the delightful refreshment
at reasonable price. The unreasonable frosts
that sometimes visit us In May,are often greater
enemy to the peach than oil the storms Of win
Ter, or drought, or insects OF summer. Not until
the latter part of the next month, can any assur-
ance be had of the probable yield of this uniyer-
sal luxury"
WORCESTER cousTY, (MD.)
The Snow Hill Shield Gays that "peaches will
probably be abundant this year. The fine weather
of the past week has developed the buds as not
materially injured Corn planting some OF our
farmers nre through with oats and clover up
finely, and last years clover already covers the
field with Transporting green"
The Snow Hill Messenger says that " the pros
peet for full fruit crop is very fattering. the
recent cold weather does not seem to have injured
the peaches to any extent"
TALBOT oousrY, (MD)
The Easton STAR of the 2lst,says "Thc peach
trees are now in full bloom, and tue prospect is
good for a fine crop OF fruit. Our farmers are
bust ut work getting In their corn crop. few
fields are already planted, but the majority have
been delayed by the wet weather. and ore not
done blowing"
CAROLINE COUNTY, (MD).
| The Denton Union of the 2lst, says "The
few days Of good weather we have had this
month has tended to restore somewhat of the
color and healthy appearance to the wheat which
was bsckened by the cold and disagreeable
weather of March. Some very fluid fields OF wheat
nre to bs seen around town--much more so than
any we saw anywhere along the line of the rail-
road as we proceeded to Philadelphia on Monday.
The crop bids fair to be q good one.
| THE PROSPECT IN NEW JERSEY.
The Salem Standard, of the 2Otn, says "Our
exchanges throughout the State say tho prospect
| for crop of peaches Is very encouraging. Tho
trees are In excellent condition, and the buds have
sustained little or no injury from cold weather
thus far. If they safely weather the month OF
April, oil danger will be past"
