Sa.-xhe Wheat Crop -Chincn-buS
on Corn, Vegetables, krnifs. &c.
PROSPECT, June "A, 1871.

L ROSPECT, JUNE II, IoIi
1t is difficult to form any approximate
estimate Of the quantity Of wheat raised in
this section Of the country. II is believed
that some fields that made a pretty fair ex-
hibit in booting and blooming will disap-
point when brought to the tfrcsher. The
frequent rains ut the blooming season
washed off the pollen, and, consequently,
many heads are not well grained. Yet it is
evident that there was wonderful and
magical change for the better il some crops
that ut one time were very unprOmisln9 on
account of the fly and rust on the lower
blades.
The chnch-bug are appearing in some
localities upon the corn, and IN such num-
bers as to be formidable. 1t will soon be
seen what forces they can muster, as they
always immediately after harvest abandon
the small grain fields and attack the young
corn, which is now looking very well,
though planted late, but worked tho
roughly.
The farmers are now paying more attcn-
ton than formerly to raising trst-class veg
c,ablcs. The area planted in Irish potatoes
Is very large. The introduction of early
varieties that are also prolific, such as the
"Early Rose" and the ''Early Goodrich"
has given new impetus to potato culture,
and added immensely 10 the amount OF food
in the country.
Owing to the low price of tobacco, some
farmers have been very successful LII raising
sweet potatoes for market instead OF to-
uacco. The making Of hot-beds. the rails
ing of slips, the culture, and the mode OF
preserving this very valuable esculent, have
deseryedly claimed and absorbed full
share of the attention Of the farming COM
munitv, while tu,nips, cabbage, peas, &c.,
are by no means neglected, and the culture
Of fruits, both small and large, is greater
than ever before known, us is evidenced
from the demand for the large number OF val
liable nurseries that have sprung up in the
country since the war, and tie plots of land
here and there dotted with trees OF rare
and excellent fruits. Men have learned
the manipulations of budding and grating,
and have made for themselves valuable or
chards, thus adding material wealth to their
estates and promoting prosperity to the
country. Much has been done under very
Instantaneous circumstances, ana much
more remains to be done. Yet the sturdy
farmer will be found equal to the task OF
restoring our prosperity. H4...r

SCENE Ar A CoMMENoEMENT.--At the
Preston and DIN Institute commencement
last week the following scene was enacted,
as related by the Christiansburg Messen-
|ger:
"A fight by two small boys in front Of
the church produced considerable excite
ment and camo near causing disastrous
consequences. The building was crowded
floor and galleries) to almost suffoca-
ton, and no little uneasiness was felt least
the galleries might give way. No sooner
had the noise Of the disturbance outside
reached the audience within, than the idea
seized the timid ones that the "loft was
about to fall and precipitate its mass of
human freight upon their heads. The cry
of fight being mistaken for the cry Of fire,
added to their terror and produced the
widest excitement. The agility displayed
by some Of the ladies in leaping from the
windows would have done credit to the
Olympian champions of old. Quiet was.
however, soon restored, and the exercises
proceeded without further interruption to

iCorrcspo nduucc OF the Richmond Dlspatch.l
LoUDoUN COUNTY, June 90.
Harvest, Which came ten days earlier
than usual this year, is well over, and the
yield and quality OF the wheat much better
than was anticipated. Some weeks ago it
appeared to be firing at the root, and many
fears were expressed and conjectures haZ.
arded on the subject; but the slight check
given TO its growth, by diminishing the
sap, saved it from rust, and the result is q
1ine bright straw, and large perfect grain.
The weather, too, has been propitious,
clear and bright, with occasional showers,
which benefits the corn, without iDjuring
the wheat. The corn crop promises well,
but pastures are not so good as usual.
This section has suffered less from drought
than other parts Of the State, and we have
escaped the storms which have proved SO
destructive elsewhere.
The Lcudoun marble quarry is i'll the full
tide Of successful experiment, ana every
new development strengthens The bencl
that the supply is almost lncXhaustlDie.
The colt show held in Uppervlllc last
week attracted Il large crowd, and the eX-
hlbitiOn of fine stock was very encouraging.
