Under favorable circumstances there
will be satisfactory peach harvest,
otherwise not. The Ohio apple crop
will be unusually large, and plums and
damscns promise fairly. West and
south of Ohio the winter has done but
little damage to the peach crop. The
frost has touched the buds only in a
few exposed localities, and advices
OF few weeks ago say that the
peach crop in Kentucky, Indiana,
Tennessee, and southern Illinois will
be the largest grown in many years.
IA these states apples, pears, ounces,
pluins, cherries, grapes, and small
fruits also promise an unusual Weld
In some parts of Missouri the danger
seems to be shat the trees will be too
full, and IN the southwestern part of
the state there are indications of a
yield OF fruit of all kinds never known
before. Kansas horticultarists expect
the best crop of peaches ever produced
IN that state. The fruit crop of the
golden state will be abundant in all
varieties. Recent heavy frosts did
much injury to the early grape, but the
later varieties, which had not put forth
oAtN'i ''iNAos uit, VI tDu1St. uD1lufE.
The yield then from the wine making
district of America will not be less than
usual. Reports have not been received
from all parts of the country. but there
is no good reason for believing that
the fruit crop of 1872 will run far be-
hind that of previous years.
COTTON
While the English cotton circulars
complacently count on large and
early cotton crop, and correspondingly
low prices, the southern papers are full
of articles on the expediency of raising
but a small one, III order that a "cor-
her may be made In the sine
gua non of British manufacturing III
terests. The prospects are, however,
that the wants of the English manu-
facturers will be attended to, and but
little attention paid to the political
economy of the journals of Dixie. In
Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama and
Tennessee an increased breadth
of land viii be devoted to cot
tor, and so many mutually advanta-
geous arrangements have been made
between planters and laborers that in
those states, at least, if the season
proves favorable, there will be large
increase in the crop of 1872 over that
OF 1871. In Georgia and the other cot
ton-growlng states the indications all
point to large crop, for, as the Angus
ia (Ga Chronicle and Sentinel SAYS:
We suppose We might as well try
to whistle down the wind as to try to
keep southern planters from straining
every nerve to raise large cotton crops
for the enriching of northern and Euro
pean spectators and manufacturers.
TOBACCO.
III some of the tobacco growing sec
| tons an increased area viii be planted
the present season, and there is every
reason for expecting a corresponding
increased crop. 1t is too early in the
season to give very definite statistics at
present, but there is a promise of a very
largely increased production Of this
staple, particularly in Kentucky, Ten
nessee, and Indiana The farmers of
the latter state are paying increased
attention to its cultivation, and if the
season proves good one, the crop of
1872 Will prove the largest ever pro
duced in Indiana. In some Of the
southern states cotton has given place
to tobacco, so that on every ground
there is every reason for expecting a
large yield of this narcotic.
