Potatoes in Brnintrrr, yield below nv crage
this year, aS general thing. In some Sec
tions they are small, aud IN others badly af-
iected by the rot. One man recently dug
four bushels. of which three were rotten.
Corn has yielded fully rs well us the average
of seasons, the stalks getting u good growth,
and the ears bring wrll-lilled,. Oats arc
pretty good, but the quantity was lessened in
consequence of being badly lodged, and by
laying out too long before being gotten in, be-
cause OF the wet weather. Wheat turns out
pretty well, the only deterioration, il any,
being that 1t did not fill well in some places.
