CROP INTELLIGENCE.
We reproduce the following inter
esting crop items from the Toledo
Commercial OF last week.
PENNSYLVANIA.
The accounts from Pennsylvania
are encouraging.
From the Pittsburgh Commercial.
The indications both as to grain
and fruit are good. Ofcourse reports
are current as to failures in particu
lar sections, but when was there
time when this was not the case 1t
is not improbable that we may yet
hear the cry of general failure, but
1t is to be observed that we usually
survive reports of this kind and have
something to spare.
From the Hunting gton Globe.
The prospects for good crop of
grain are splendid. The grain fields
have donned their green, lively, and
hold out heroically, Notwithstanding
"April showers have, to some ex-
tent, gone back on them. The fruit
trees of all descriptions are in full
bloom, and the breezes are redolent
with their sweetness. If none of
the summer blights interpose, we
will have as large,if not larger yield
of grain and fruit from this country
t:".an we had last year. If it proves
as good as last year, we don't think
there will be any complaints.
From the Columbus Journal
Mr.. John H. Klippart, Secretary
of the State Board of Agriculture,
returned yesterday from a tour
through the counties ofChampaign,
Madison, Clarke, Montgomery and
Greene, and his reports as to the
condition of the growing crops are
most encouraging. In all these
counties the season is pronounced
the earliest ever known. The leaves
of trees are as forward as they usu-
ally are at the 1st of June. Mr..
Klippart brings with him specimens
of grass two feet high and in bloom
Much corn has been planted, and
farmers are giving their entire at
tention to the putting in of this crop
in good shape. Wheat looks well
everywhere.
ILLINOIS,
Advices from the counties of
Woodford, Stark, Fulton, Farwell,
Knox, Peoria, Henry, Lascelle, and
Grundy Illinois, say that the pros
poets for the crops were never bet
ter that tkey are fully three weeks
ahead Of the average growth that
Ia large breadth Of corn has been
planted, most of which is already up,
some of it nearly ready for the cul-
tivator.
From the State Register.
The spring which is now fully
open has been rerhaps the most fav,
orable for the farmers of any for the
past quarter century. The spring
weather began at least two weeks
earlier than usual, and continued
with such alterations of sunshine
and rain as enabled the farmers to
get their fields in the best possible
condition, and the corn, spring
wheat and oats were sown under the
most favorable auspices. Of the
breadth sown we are not prepared
to speak accurately, but we are as
sured by correspondents and local
papers that in every part of Central
and Southern Illinois the average in
grain is much larger than ever be-
fore. Tie winter wheat is strong,
even and stocky, and will no doubt
yield an abundent harvest. The
corn crop will, il the absence of an
unfavorable change in the weather,
be very heavy. Oats promise well
and the appearance of spring wheat
is very gratifying. The frosts which
were feared to have destroyed the
crop now appear to have pruned the
premature and superfuous buds, so
that the trees are fully laden with
rich blossoms,s soon to develope into
luscious fruit. In short, in every
department of agriculture and horti
culture, the produce will exceed that
of any former year, if we are blessed
with continued favorable weather.
INDIANA.
| From the indianapolis journal.
A careful review of the State pa
pers shows that more than an aver
age breadth Of wheat has been sowr
this season, and thus far the pros
poets are most excellent for a heavy
yield. In large and small fruits, de.
spite the fear of the late frosts, there
seems to be nopossibility of failure
In brief, SO far as Indiana is con.
cerned, our gardens and fields are
fairly blooming with the richest
promises for the harvest home
Peace and plenty fill the land.
! MICHIGAN.
| The crop prospects in the State
says the Detroit Advertiser, are
generally favorable. The season is
a fortnight or three weeks earlier
than usual, and all kinds of crops
are well advanced and promise 6
